I usually leave a beer in primary for three weeks, then force carb at 30psi and then drink it. However, I've been thinking, why not just wait a week for the actual fermentation to stop (or however long it takes) and then stick it in the keg, and add some sugar (I know, 1/2 normal amount) to the keg and then wait two more weeks?
It'd be basically the same amount of time, but using sugar instead of Co2 which is more expensive, and going to the tank place is a hassle.
Can conditioning and priming take place at the same time?
