Hello I am a new home brewer who skipped bottling and got a keg system with my first fermenter and am having fun with some mates learning the in's and out of brewing!
I have a couple of questions and would be wrapped to get some quick answers. I have racked an ipa from secondary to keg today 24/10 but would like to drink the beer for the rugby world cup final on the 1st of November.
I know I can chill it down and force carbonate it and drink it right away but I have been reading about keg conditioning at room temperature for 3 or so weeks for the beer to mature... Could I just hook the keg up to say 11 psi? And leave it at room temperature to let's say the 30th? Chill it down have a try and if it's not carbonated right wack it up to 30psi give her a shake and leave overnight?
Or should I just leave the keg to condition until the 30th chill for a day then force carbonate?
Thanks for your time and look forward to your reply's
