Is this actually possible? It seems like most people talk about aging their brew in either a keg or bottle. To me that means they have already carbonated or are in the process of carbonating. So would extending your secondary "clarifying" stage count as aging, even though the beer is not carbonated?
For more background info, this is my first time trying to give a brew a few months extra time to age after fermentation. I'm brewing a breakfast stout recipe based off of founders. I only have one keg and was going to keep another brew in that for drinking while the stout aged a few months. Would it work the same just to leave it in the secondary and after a few months keg, carb, and drink right away? Will it taste different than if I had kegged, carbed, then stored away in the keg?
Thanks for the info all.
