So I have a pumpkin ale that I let ferment for 14 days and cold crash for 7 days. I bottled 2 weeks ago and there is just a slight hiss when I open a bottle.
Now I know it can take a lot longer to bottle condition but here is my main question.......
Since I was cold crashing the temp of the beer was around 38'F. When I put the info in my calculator (2.4 vol CO2, 4 gallons, 38'F) it gave me a total of 2.41 oz of corn sugar. But at 68'F it gives me a total of 3.51 oz.
Did I royally mess this up by adding only 2.41oz?
Now my total batch size came out a little larger at 4.4 gallons and from what someone on here told me, it looks like I'm set around 1.9 vol CO2.
What can I do to increase total volume CO2? Do I need to lightly pour into a keg and force carb?
