Bottling / keg conditioning options?

[ronstar55]

I have a porter sitting in a primary for 3 weeks and a kegerator that won't have an opening for 2 more weeks. I'm going to keg the porter and bottle a few bottles. I have extra cornies and an extra co2 tank, but no way of refrigerating the porter until I finish a corny in the kegerator.

1. Should I keg the porter now and put it on gas unrefrigerated?

2. Should I wait until a spot opens up in the kegerator before I keg the porter?

3. Given 1 or 2 above, how should I handle the bottling - bottle now or later - with tabs or priming sugar - bottle from a bottling bucket or from the keg?

If I were you, just leave it in the primary until a spot opens up and you're ready to keg and carb. Or, if you have a spare keg, you could always prime it with sugar and naturally carb it and it could possibly be ready by the time a spot opens up. Porter's may take longer to naturally carb, so it's really your call.

For bottling, you can bottle after it's carbed with either a bottling gun or something like BM's we need no stinking beer gun device. Either would work for carbed up beer. If you chose to bottle before carbed, just prime it with some sugar and call them done. Just depends on what you want to do with it all really.
