I usually keg my beers and force carbonation. With my new batch of porter, I was wanting to keg half, and bottle the other. I wasn't able to get bottles yet, so I was planning on putting half into the keg now, and bottling the rest one week from today.
So here are my overly-cautious newbie questions:
-Is there anything wrong with leaving half the batch sitting in the glass carboy for a week until I bottle it? (age is not an issue, it's supposed to be bottled a week from today)
-I usually force carbonation for 3 days at 30 lbs. Will this be different with a half batch? (I do it in the fridge)
-Just half the amount of priming sugar if I'm bottling half the batch right?
Sorry for the newb questions, I just don't want to screw this one up with some little mistake after 4 weeks of waiting!
