Having just finished restoring a free kegerator I got on craigslist I kegged my first batch a couple weeks ago. It was a Brown Ale that I had never brewed before. After 5-7 days the beer was decent and very drinkable. Normally a beer like that bottled for me wouldn't be that good for at least 21 days. Then about a week ago I kegged a blonde that I constantly brew the same recipe with each time. After 4-5 days it was really good. But normally bottled it would be good in about 12-14 days.
My kegging proccess just set it around 13 psi bleed the oxygen 4 or 5 times after kegging it. Then serve at same psi and thoroughly enjoy. With similar brews I bottled they eventually become as good and in some cases better perhaps. But as far as speed to a drinkable beer is concerned Keg FTW.
So is the Moral of the story I lack patience when bottling? So now kegging can keep me going while I let the bottles take their time. Short of just getting equipment to brew several batches at a time Kegging has been best investment so far. PIPELINE FILLED! :rockin:
