Bottle or keg a dubbel?

[sethlovex]

I brewed a Chimay red clone and can't decide whether to bottle or keg. I have the bottles and two spare kegs at the moment.
Also, it's been in secondary for about a month, is the yeast still viable? I have fresh abbey ale yeast and Us 05 on hand.
Leaning towards naturally carbonating in the keg but not sure what sugar to use. Is cane an option or use wheat DME?
Thanks for any advice.

I carbonate naturally in the keg all the time and use corn sugar--though I have also used brown sugar. If it were me, I would bottle it.

I say bottle it! Its easier to meter out that way.

Definetly more authentic to bottle

Chimay before 18 months is a Belgian sin...this is a fact...

I was going to one at six months

I ended up naturally carbonating in the keg with 4 oz priming sugar and 2 oz honey. I will probably bottle in a month with additional cane or priming sugar as to get to 3.5 vols CO2

How did it turn out priming in the keg? How long did you wait?

Thanks!
