You'd be surprised. IPA's often have a pretty low carbonation. I recently had a 1/6 of Arcadia Ales IPA that I had to set to 8 at 41 degrees (the head brewer himself told me 10psi at 45F!!!), and at 8 it poured perfectly to the last glass.

You definitely need to contact DFH and ask them what the PSI setting should be AT the temperature your beer is.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.
Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery
and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might
be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver."
