I am doing something slightly different than before, I am chilling my wort (ale) to drop the particulates before I bottle.
So, fermentation has completed, and now I am bringing the carboy/beer down to less than 45F.
In the carbonation tab, it lets you select what temperature the beer is at, so it can determine the correct priming agent mass based on CO2 levels in the beer.
Now, i understand that at lower temperatures, the liquid can hold more dissolved CO2... but, how would more CO2 get dissolved into the liquid if it fermented at higher temperatures (65F)?
So, should I set the beer temp to ambient/fermentations temps, or to the actual 45F (or whatever) that i am bottling the beer at?
Do these questions make sense, or am I confusing the subject?
thanks!

To be safe, and not sorry... i just slowly raised the temperature back to 60F or so, and primed with the given amounts of DME.
i put a little bit of yeast in before bottling as well, just in case i dropped out too many of them during the cold crash.
I am sure it will end up ok.
cheers!
