Getting keg system in 3 weeks, beer done now...

[NSbeer]

As the title says, beer is done, it's been 3 week... I was going to bottle it but my back **** the bed on me and I can't cap bottles for a few days.... HOWEVER my kegging system will be complete in 3 weeks. Can I let my beer sit in the carboy for 3 more weeks without issue? Or should I get my lady on the capper and hope for the best?
Cheers

Do you have any kegs yet?

Yes I do. No Co2 bottle and regulator, that's next pay. I have two 19L kegs, all the hoses and taps etc.

How full can you get that 19L keg?

You can fill the keg and add priming sugar to naturally carbonate the keg the same way you would a bottle. I have never done it, but I have read to use less priming sugar. My cornys take 15 psi to get a proper seal though, so that would be a concern. If you have any friends with kegerators, they would probably lend you a bottle to at least pressurize your keg.

Also, unless it is a NEIPA, you are probably okay to let it sit in the carboy without any major ill effects. May not be ideal, but could be worse.

Good question, haven't used them yet... I will put what's left over in growlers

I will check it out, they are the sanke style D kegs.

If you can fill them up (minimize head space), I would prime with 125 grams of sugar and call it good. Store at room temp, the yeast will consume much of the O2 left in there, and they will be ready when you get your keg system. Carbonation might be high or low, but the nice thing about kegs is that is easy to fine tune once you tap it. If you can borrow a CO2 tank to purge with, that is even better.
