So, I guess that I was overzealous in kegging a stout that I made about a month ago.
I stupidly didn't try it when putting from the secondary to the keg. I put it on the gas for a few days and had a sampler - still very green and is still quite bitter; needs more time to mellow out IMO. It was only on the gas for about 48 hrs. at 10 psi between 35-45 F. Right now it's sitting on the deck off the gas.
Would you:
(a) leave it in the keg on the deck (it's in the low 40s during the day and in the mid 30s at night right now)?
(b) leave it in the keg, but bring it inside (68-70 deg. all day)?
(c) rack it back into a carboy and put it in a corner for a few more weeks? (this would be my preference - frees up a keg)
Also, should I put it back on the gas or not, if putting it back in a carboy is a bad idea?
Thoughts?
