I have an amber ale currently in my Spike CF 5 fermenter. I have cold crashed to 37 f and have 10 psi through the carb stone. How long do I need to maintain this to properly carbonate my beer?
How many batches have you carbed this way? I ask because I want to know if you’re asking what the carb level should be for that style or any style? I use 25psi for 48 hours (give or take) so not sure on the 10psi route so hopefully someone else will be in here shortly to answer. I feel like people who go with 10psi typically say that 1 week is around the kill zone but don’t quote me on that.
I know what the carb level should be I am shooting for ~2.3 volumes of CO2 which would be appropriate for this style of beer. I am using the attached chart from Spike as a reference: Carbonation Chart | Spike Brewing
The carb stone will greatly reduce time for CO2 absorption. I would take a sample after 24 hours and determine for yourself if it needs more time.
