I need to free up one of my fermenters. It's 3 weeks old so can I put it in my keg blast some co2 on it and let it sit for a few weeks at 68 degrees and then cold crash in the keg?

Sure. If it's done, and has been at FG for at least 3-5 days, there is no advantage to keeping in the fermenter.

Yea it's been around 1.011 for about a week. I assuming all that drops when I cold crash will be drawn out when I pour my first pint. Thanks for the fast response!
No. If it's been three weeks already, not much more yeast is going to fall out magically in another week.
As mentioned, you can transfer it to a keg for storage to free up your fermenter but for about $15 you can get another fermenter bucket and airlock and have two going at once. You could even blow $30 and have a third fermenter but I don't have any idea what you could ever want with 3.
