Carbonation Basics




Application of Henry's Law


  • Temperature-Pressure Relationship: CO₂ solubility is 2.5 times higher at 0°C than at 20°C.

  • Industry Standard Operating Pressure Range: 10-40 PSI (0.7-2.8 bar).

  • Typical Dissolution Time: 24-72 hours (depending on the specific gravity of the beer).



Bubble Formation Mechanism


  • Neck Cavity Effect: The 5-10mm air layer at the top of the bottle promotes bubble nucleation.

  • Glass Surface Roughness: Laser etching the bottom of the glass can improve bubble persistence.

Styled Carbonation Parameter Library




Classic Style Standards‌


  • English Cask Ale: 1.2-1.5 vol (requires manual beer pump)

  • German Wheat Beer: 3.0-3.8 vol (creates signature head)

  • American IPA: 2.4-2.6 vol (enhances hop aroma)


Innovative Trends‌


  • Nitrogen Blend (Guinness-style): 30% N₂ + 70% CO₂

  • Champagne-grade Carbonation: ≥4.0 vol (secondary fermentation in bottle)

  • Low-alcohol Beer: 1.5-1.8 vol (reduces harshness)

Solutions to Common Problems




Insufficient Carbonation


  • Factors to Check: Seal/Temperature/Yeast Activity

  • Emergency Solution: Inject liquid CO₂ and tumble the barrel



Overcarbonation


  • Pressure Relief Technique: Gradually release to target value

  • Physical Defoaming: Ultrasonic Treatment



Poor Bubble Sustainability


  • Body Adjustment: Add maltodextrin (2-5%)

  • Packaging Improvement: Flush the cap space with nitrogen
