and I made such a mess but I got it in the keg and hopefully stayed clean. I kegged a double IPA that ended up with a FG of 1.015. It tasted good. I don't have enough CO2 to force carb it so I primed it with have the priming sugar from the kit and put it back in the fermenter at 65F. The kit instructions say to give it 2-4 weeks to prime when in bottles. Is it the same in the keg?
First kegging experience, how long to prime?

You usually only have to use about 1/2 of the sugar when bulk priming in the keg. So, hopefully you don't have overcarbed beer. The keg will be fine, but you may have tweak the co2 volumes once all said and done.
Make sure to put about 30lbs in the keg to seal the lid so the co2 that is generated from sugar isn't leaked out. Timing wise, you're looking at a few weeks like normal to carb up.
