[kceb]

Update - I re-visited the website & found out that I can translate it to english. I sent an email requesting the v/v info, I'll update this thread if I get a response.

Does anyone have any vols of CO2 information on Kostritzer Schwarzbier ? It is considered a black lager. I just ordered a keg here in So Cal, but the only website I can find for them is in German, so I don't know how to email the brewmaster to ask.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Eric Marshall himself from Marshall Brewing Company in Tulsa, OK replied to an email inquiry and stated that Marshall Old Pavilion Pilsners has 2.5-2.6 volumes of CO2.

Todd from the Boston Brewery called me back and told me that "most" of Sam Adams products are 6.2 - 6.7 v/v. I asked for Boston Lager and he said it is 6.7 v/v . FINALLY!!!!

Even a spread between 2.2 to 2.7 v/v is quite significant. Most breweries keep the spec. within a tenth on either side. Please call Todd back and attempt to get specific carbonation levels per brand.

agree no way could it be 6.2-6.7

Are you sure he didn't say 2.2-2.7?

So now AB standard line-up is 2.7 v/v? They bumped it up from 2.6 v/v?

[Scott Zuhse]

Shock Top is 2.7 v/v per ABInbev Draught Team. Actually, all AB domestic products are now at 2.7 v/v across the board. One of these days Boston Beer will reply to emails on volumes spec. No idea on the last beer. Email brewery.

Shock Top
Sam Adams Boston Lager
Sam Adams Octoberfest
Sam Adams Winter Lager
Sam Adams Noble Pils
Sam Adams Summer Ale
Flying Dog Snake Dog
