Hello,

I recently purchased a kegerator and was wondering how everyone here ages their beer. Before I would just bottle my beer and let it age in the bottles. Now that I have kegs (and really don't want to bottle), how do most people age their beer? I don't want to tie up one of my kegs for aging so would it be OK to rack to a secondary to let dark and heavy beers to age a couple weeks before racking to the keg and force carbonating? Do I need to worry about the temperature when bulk aging or is a temperature around 73 degrees ok?
 
I think it will age just fine in secondary. Some brewers leave their beer in primary for over a month with great results. And 73 is good temp for ale aging.
