I have just racked over to a keg, and I am wondering if there is a "Best" way to age, as well as a "Fastest" way to age.
Carbonated or still?
Chilled, Room Temp, or warm?
Air locked or sealed tight?
Shake or leave still?
etc.
Right now I have the keg sealed and burped with a little CO2 to prevent Oxidization. Room temperature and I just leave it alone for as long as I can stand.
Would you get a faster (but not necessarily tastier) aging process by having the keg warmer like close to a heater or radiator? What if you agitated the keg from time to time, would this disperse any yeasties sitting on the bottom allowing them to do their thing more quickly? What about using a stir plate on constantly?
How do people age their beer?
