I've had a kolsch in primary for 2 weeks at 59 degrees. I want to transfer to a keg and put it in fridge for about a month. Would I need to put an airlock on my keg. I am still getting a few bubbles in my primary now ( haven't taken a gravity reading). I normally use an airlock with secondaries, but don't have any carboys freed up, that is why I am using a keg, just didn't know if airlock was actually needed.
 
A Kolsch should be done after 2 weeks at 59. When I make my 5gal Kolsch batches with wyeast, I am always done after 6-8 days. Keg it and cool it down to 40 and you are good
 
You can through it in the keg. Just watch the pressure inside or you may end up with some over carbonation (not likely though)
