Keg or Bottle

[spacemaker]

I have a Nut Brow Ale, been in primary for 2 weeks. I'm ready to move it. Question is should I go to a secondary for a week or two, or should I just keg it and carbonate it for a few days?

If you're sure it's done and your gravity samples taste good then I would cold crash for a couple days and keg it

of course you're ready to move it, but is it really ready after two weeks? i would suggest you leave it in primary for a week, maybe two, after specific gravity stops changing (not to exceed 4 weeks in primary).

nut brown ale is a beer that won't be hurt by aging.

In general, two weeks is a little early for all but the smallest beers. Unless of course you're planning on treating the keg like a secondary and leaving it there for another week or two.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll leave it in primary a while longer and check the SG, I want a good beer what ever it takes.

Of course, taste is always the final judge. Taste the hydro sample and make the call.

Keg it and drink it. How are you going to know when it's at it's peak if you aren't tasting it?
