The "Beer Carbonation Levels" Thread!

[djc]

2.7-2.75 is what they told me a while back. I have had 3 kegs of Blue Moon. First with forward closing faucets and 5' lines, then rear closing faucets and 5' lines, and now the current set up with rear closing faucets and 10' lines. The 10's are what finally got it under control.

Does anyone know the v/v of switchback?

[russianriver29]

Anybody know the v/v for Victory Lager?

[Tyler]

Contacted Switchback Brewery via email. They said their beer is carbonated at 2.45 v/v co2.

[djc]

Long Trail Ale 2.5 (although they say they don't give exact numbers as it is a trade secret, they suggested shooting for this)

[djc]

Abita Turbodog 2.65

Saint Arnold Fancy Lawnmower:

It should have a carbonation level of 2.65 volumes, if that makes sense to you.

Cheers!

Full Sail Amber

"We rack our kegs at 10-12 psi...co2 volumes run ~2.5"

James Ememrson, Executive Brewmaster, Full Sail Brewing Co.

Taking delivery on a keg of Mac N Jacks African Amber tomorrow. I contacted the brewery and they reported 2.4 vv co2 and a serving temp. of 40*

[08HDFXD]

Surprise! The Mac n Jacks African Amber comes in the Coors style keg. It does not fit in either kegerator. So now I am taking delivery on Manny's Pale Ale from Georgetown Brewery, Seattle. The brewmaster says 2.3-2.5 vv. co2.

Can anyone help with temp and co2 vol for Pabst? Done a search and nothing.. Thank's, Quickdraw

[scriptohio]

My experience with PBR is 12-13 PSI @ second pour temp of 38 degrees.
As I recall it is 2.6 like most American Lagers.

[Quickdraw]

Thank you scriptohio.. I appreciate the help.... Quickdraw

[Dallas Beerman]

Fireman's 4
CO2 should be 2.6 volumes on #4.*

Enjoy that keg!
