Got Mr. Beer Keg with Pale Ale mix for my b-day. Directions say to leave it for 7-21 days. We had a family emergency and it's actually been sitting untouched for over 50 days. Is it still OK? Can I just proceed from here with bottling and carbonating or do I need to pitch this batch and start over? Thanks.
1st batch - 8 weeks fermenting too long???

That's no problem. As Munson stated, should be no need to repitch any yeast. You'll still have quite a bit of yeast in suspension in your beer. Just rack to the bottling bucket, add your priming sugar, and bottle. Wait three weeks and you'll be ready to start enjoying your first batch.
it will most likely taste much better than if you had bottled at 21 days, too.
