Hi, I was talking to a professional brewer who said he could turn out a batch very quickly, I believe the term he used was "cold crash".
Anyway, I'm going to be kegging my next batch and was wondering how quickly after fermentation I could enjoy my beer? I "suspect" that the only reason to rack to secondary is to allow the beer to continue to settle for clarity (Am I correct?).. So if another week or two isn't going to do anything significantly different to the beer, then why not carbonate and enjoy?
If I'm correct, then what would be the ill affects of a 2 week(or so) fermentation period, racking to a corny keg, carbonating and enjoying two days later?
Thank you!
