Ok. I bought the oatmeal stout partial mash from Northern Brewers. I brewed it and put it in the pail........for three weeks. I got really busy and just left it alone. I just transfered to a keg and started carbing at 7 psi at 38 degrees. How long should I wait for it to be "good"? Usually I was told to wait around two to three weeks in the secondary. However, in this situation I have already let it sit for that long. Does being on the yeast cake prevent it from aging or am I good. I tried a glass and it was really good......Flat.....But good. Should I wait?:confused:
 
7 psi is kinda low- it might stay pretty flat for a long time. I'd probably turn up the psi a bit. My fridge is a bit warmer- 39 degrees- but I'm usually at 12 psi and the beer is fully carbed in less than two weeks.
