Last Tuesday I kegged my Pumpkin Ale and primed it, thinking I'd let it age gracefully for a few weeks before tapping it.
My wife informs me that the couple that has been over for the past three weekends in a row to drink my homebrew are coming over again Saturday. Word has now spread and there's even more people coming now.
Long story short, I need the beer for this Saturday night. I checked with Papa Charlie and he says 1-2 weeks conditioning is fine.
So, if you were me, how would you do this? When should I put the keg into my kegerator to chill? I was thinking when I get home from work on Friday. I figure that would give me 10 days conditioning and also allow enough time to chill overnight. Does this sound like a reasonable thing to do?
