How the math works
Residual CO₂: 3.0378 − (0.050062 × T_F) + (0.00026555 × T_F²) — beer at room temperature already holds some CO₂ from fermentation.
Needed CO₂: target_vol − residual.
Grams of corn sugar per liter: needed_co2 × 4.0. Other sugars scale by yield factor: corn 1.00, sucrose 0.91, DME 1.47, honey 0.93, maple 1.14.
Kegging needs about half the sugar of bottling because the keg headspace is purged with CO₂ at serving pressure.
