Forced carbonated champagnes?

Sep 25, 2003 1 Replies

If you were to force carbonate a champagne in a keg and then bottle, about how many volumes of CO2 would you recommend?



I was thinking about force carbonating 3.0 volumes of CO2, expecting to lose about 0.2 volumes in the bottling process, giving me a total carbonation of



2.8 volumes? Should that be enough to retain the effervescence of champagne?

(Actually, it's maple mead with sarsasparilla that I want to bottle to resemble a "holiday" champagne)

I see no one replied to this, and I've always been curious about the same. Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
