When to keg?

[bajaru]

My Irish ale has been in a FastFermenter with temp control at 68 for two weeks and I plan to keg and force carbonate it. I just collected the yeast and trub into the collection bottle, so is now the time to rack it to the keg for another couple weeks, or do I leave it in the FastFermenter for another couple weeks and then move to keg?
-Thanks!

Take a gravity reading and another in a couple of days. If their both the same, go ahead and keg...

If you have final gravity, 2 hydrometer readings at least 24 hours apart that are the same, keg it!

As the others said, once you hit terminal gravity, give it 2-3 days, then if you have the ability to cold crash
bring the temp. down for another 2 days, and then keg

You can leave it to condition for a couple weeks, but if you had a healthy yeast pitch, it's most likely done. Go ahead and keg away. For smaller beers, FG readings are more important for bottling so you don't get bombs, but even a slightly under-fermented beer will not be a problem in a keg. If it isn't quite done you can always just warm the keg up and vent the excess CO2. Easy as pie.
