Secondary Fermentation - in Keg?

Yeast & Fermentation

Hey all,

This is my first post, so please be gentle (hehe)

I am brewing an imperial stout and presently have it in secondary. The plan is to have it here per the recipe for 2-4 months.

Since I keg all of my batches, my question is whether I can actually transfer to the keg now and not force carbonate until the 2-4 months has come and gone in order to accomplish the same goal as leaving it in the secondary for that long.

Thoughts?

I’d keg it and put the gas to it for conditioning… but then I’d likely start drinking it sooner too!

What Danny said— on both counts. :mrgreen:

Yes you can purge the keg and bulk age it.
