CO2 Pressure

[BeerSnob]

I finally got an answer from the Paulaner rep regarding the carbonization levels for Paulaner Hefeweizen. If anyone can estimate CO2 pressure with the numbers below, I would appreciate it.

Here's the response-


Greetings,

Our brewmasters in Germany have provided the following information.

The co2 content for our Hefe-Weizen sold in the USA is 5,4 g/l.

Normally we measure the CO2 content in g/l. In bottles you can
analyze the
CO2 content by measure the temperature and the pressure. There is a
formula the calculate the CO2. In barrels or tanks you need a
special
equipment.

Thanks again for your interesting Paulaner!

Beersnob,

I don't think he answered your question. Maybe there's a language barrier, but I do not understand what he is saying.

Maybe you could just try a low pressure to start and increase it until you get the flow you want.

If this is at 5.4 grams/liter carbonation, this equates to 2.7 volumes. 1 to 1000' evelvation @ 38 degrees F liquid should require 15 to 16 PSIG. Hopefully the carbonation level is stabel.
