* Annual increases for the rest of the state will continue until the rate reaches $15 minimum wage (and $10 tipped wage). Starting 2021, the annual increases will be published by the Commissioner of Labor on or before October 1.
Temperature comes into play as to how much carbonation the beer will hold (e.g. 12 psi at 40 degrees is 2.47 volumes, while 12 psi at 48 degrees is only 2.14 volumes). Rule of thumb for standard 3/16ID homebrew setups is 2 lbs pressure to 1 foot hose length.
If the reading is the same on both days it is safe to bottle, otherwise you should wait until you get the same reading. This will prevent over-carbonation or exploding bottles.A typical 5 gallon batch of beer will require 48 12-ounce bottles or 26 22-ounce bottles.
