i've made this specific batch of beer several times. the fg is always around 1.008, and it always ferments out in around 5-7 days. i usually let it sit in the primary for 10-14 days, then force carb, and it's delicious immedeatly. it never tastes "green" or bad from day one, it's always great.
it's been 7 days now, and the SG has been stuck at 1.014 for three days now.
i know all the usual answers about waiting itout, possibly repitching, blah, blah. my question is a bit different though.
what i want to do is just go ahead and rack it to my keg, cool it, and force carb it so that i can have it for a party this weekend. the beer tastes fine, not overly sweet at all, and tastes just about like the other several batches i've made of it.
when i cool the beer in the keg, it will kill off the yeasties, and stop/fix the fermentation, right? and then the beer should be drinkable, but just be a tad bit sweeter, and less ABV then usual i'm thinking, i just wanted to make sure there wasn't something dumb i was overlooking.
thanks,
brian
