Here's my dilemma:
I have a Black IPA in the secondary that is dry hopped. I want to keg this one (my first time) but don't have my CO2 yet. My schedule just changed so I don't know if I can get my tank filled. However, I'm not sure I want that beer sitting in the secondary that long. It started at a fairly high OG, and there is a decent amount of trub in the carboy, plus the dry hops.
Soooo.....for you keggers out there, have you racked a beer in the keg and put the CO2 on later? I'm guessing guys with the large chest freezers have done this. I can get it in the fridge to keep it cool and obviously the corny keg is sealed and will be sanitized.
My other options are to bottle this one like I've been doing for years, or leave it in the carboy until I can get the CO2 tank filled.
