This is what I want to do:
1) Keg my brew in 5 gal cornies.
2) force carbonate at room temperature (73 F) and remove from CO2
3) let condition for 4 to 6 weeks at room temp.
4) hook up CO2 periodically and fill sterilized bottles with beer gun at room temp and put bottles in fridge or cooler and carry to parties. Disconnect CO2 when I am finished bottling.
I think that it would be much easier to keg and then just keep a case or so of clean bottles on hand and just bottle an hour or so and put on ice before I start a drinking session.
Any thoughts? Suggestions? Should I condition in keg and then force carbonate later, remember..... I have no kegerator at this time so keg beer will always be at room temp. A kegerator will come later.
