Forgive me for sounding noobish but...
Carbonating aside, why do people recommend to leave a beer in keg for 3 weeks before consumption?
I like to leave my brew in primary for 3 weeks in most cases.
Why can't I just leave it (or secondary) for an additional 3 weeks, keg, force carb it in a couple days, and then enjoy right away?
Does the beer benefit from sitting while it's carbonated somehow?
Is it just for the sake of letting the co2 fully dissolve into the liquid?
It might sound silly but I can't find any information as to why we do this!
