Ok I have a fridge large enough for a single keg and CO2 tank. My goal is to have a keg ready for consumption for every weekend, I can deal with no home brew on weekdays. If I leave my beer in primary for a week and an extended 3 week secondary would force carbing the keg early in the week provide good beer to drink on the weekend or will it still taste green? I noticed that on the force carbing I thought of just priming the kegs but I kind of hate to get the yeast going and extending the time till its ready to be consumed. If it helps I have 3 cornies so that shouldn't be an issue.
I don't see also why I couldn't just use my cornies as secondary's, maybe do a 2 week primary to make sure all CO2 gassing has subsided then rack to the keg and wait another 2 weeks or so before force carbing. Worst thing I could see happening is that a glass or two would be wasted by sediment not caught in the primary's trub.
Hope you can help with this info.
