Denny,
The tool does ask for the temperature of storage area for the bottles or kegs.

ynotbrusum,
I tried kegging once but I found it too easy to pour one more beer. At least the empty bottles serve as a reminder. Besides on bottling day, once everything is sanitized, it only takes about 45 minutes in the kitchen to fill and cap the bottles.

It’s not about storage temp, it’s about fermentation temp. The colder you ferment, the more CO2 remains in solution and the less priming you need. And vice versa.

And the “fermentation” temperature includes not just the active fermentation but all the time up until packaging. I do a cold crash down to 34F and am always impressed at how much extra CO2 is dissolved over the course of a couple of days at that temperature. I have a mylar balloon on my fermenter to provide the CO2, so I can look at it and tell how much has been taken out of it.
