I have a double IPA in secondary right now, the OG was 1.068 and when I racked to secondary the reading was 1.016. Usually after two weeks I'd bottle condition for a few weeks, but I'd like to keg this one. Does anyone find you need to let higher gravity brews condition longer in the keg before force carbonating it? It's a very hoppy IPA, so I also don't want to lose the hoppiness over time.
 
Condition it exactly the same way you would bottles. With a keg, you can always re-dry hop.
