Keg Carbonation Calculator
Homebrew keg carbonation can be tricky, but not with this keg carbonation calculator! Now you can make sure your beer is carbonated properly every time!
One thing we love about our Keg Carbonation Calculator is it allows you to either enter a specific volume yourself or select a classic style. This flexibility allows you to dial in your own volume or take the research step and guesswork out by simply selecting the style.
Note: This calculator is for sea level. Add .5 psi per thousand feet above sea level (technically .5309 if you want to get super accurate).
How to Use the Calculator
- Volume of CO2: Enter the Volume of CO2 you would like in your beer. Generally speaking, 1-2 volumes will give low to medium carbonation, 2-3 volumes yields medium to high carbonation, and 3-4 is high carbonation.
- OR: Simply select a classic style and it will auto-enter the appropriate volume of CO2 for that style of beer.
- Temperature: Enter the temperature that you will be storing the beer at. Temperature affects the CO2 absorption rate.
- Unit: Select the unit of measure you are using for temperature, i.e., Fahrenheit or Celsius.
- Calculate: Simply hit the "Go" button to perform the Keg Carbonation Calculation!
- Regulator Setting [PSI]: This is the PSI setting you will want to set your regulator at to achieve the desired volume of CO2.
