Noob question here. Brewed a brown ale on sept 2. Recipe below. 1.050 OG, est. FG is 1.014. It will be 3 weeks in primary this coming weekend. I want to keg it, carb it for a week, and drink it. Ran out of homebrew last weekend. Bad, bad. does this need to age any longer? i'm new to kegging and am used to having to wait for bottle conditioning. does kegging eliminate that? Also, i'm limited on equipment right now but still want to keep a pipeline going...is it safe to keg and store at room temp (as long as i get the oxygen out)? if so, for how long?
Thanks for the help!
