I'm getting ready to brew a NB Tripel kit next week. The instructions call for racking to a 2 month secondary after active fermentation before bottling. My conundrum is: I'd rather not rack at all (I'm sold on the notion that racking only oxidizes beer w/o adding much benefit) and I'm planning on picking up a kegerator while this is fermenting, so I plan to keg this batch. I'm having problems solving this. If I primary for 3 - 4 weeks w/o racking, can this beer condition to it's full glory in a corny keg?? If so, how long should it condition in the keg?? Should I prime the keg with sugar, or just force carbonate? Would I be better off bottling this batch, and let it bottle condition for 2 or 3 months? Or, if I DO keg, do I NEED to secondary ferment it before kegging?
