Weissbier carbonation 16 years 9 months ago #1

Bottling a Weissbier today. How much priming sugar do people use ?

Weiss beer is carbonated higher than other styles. Between 3.0 and 3.5 volumes CO2 is common. Brewing software is the best way to calculate it. Try Promash or Beer Tools if you don't have any.

Hmmmm temperature seems to be a big variable in determining amount of sugar. Does that mean the temperature the beer is served at ?
Beer smith has the style volume as 2.5-2.9 volumes
Palmer has it as 3.3-4.5 <!-- s:? --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_confused.gif" alt=":?" title="Confused" /><!-- s:? -->

The temperature is that fermented at and sitting afterwards. At room temp and pressure beer has around 0.8 vols CO2 and the software allows for this.

I usually shoot for between 3 and 3.5 vols but it's a matter of how much fizz you can bear.

I keg all my beers and don't want to incur the expense right now of a separate regulator for each tap box line, so I brew my weizens a little on the dry and hoppy side so they don't need the extra carbonic acid from higher levels of CO2 to balance the malt sweetness.
