Frequently asked questions
Is bottle conditioning safe at any target?
No. Use pressure-rated bottles, ensure fermentation is complete, and stay within the bottle and closure pressure limits.
How accurate is residual CO₂?
It depends on the highest temperature reached after fermentation. Use a trusted priming reference for your process.
