No room left in keezer for carboy. I'm going to put Alt in keg and put it in the keezer for secondary. After a few weeks, can I bring it up to room temp, add the sugar, leave it for a week, put back in the keezer for a few days and drink away? Or should I really rack into another keg (I don't mind the first pints being a tad cloudy)?
 
If you rack the beer into a keg and then naturally condition, you should be fine drinking right from that keg. Yes, you might pull a little sediment at the beginning, but like any conditioned bottle, if you don't move it and you keep it cold, that yeast cake will compact and it will be just fine.
 
I would rack to keg, add gelatin, pressurize lid, and put it in the keezer to condition. Then you can carbonate whenever you want to later.
