Hi all,
I am new to home brewing and my first brew is currently underway! The beer has been fermenting for ~3 days at this point and everything looks good (as far as from what I can tell) and I am looking ahead to read about carbonation and storage of the beer. I was fortunate enough to get a starter kit with a kegging system (also came with priming sugar if bottling was desired). From what I can gather which kind of bums me out is that you really should go with just straight kegging or bottling rather than carbonate the beer by kegging then after which transfer to bottles. Thinking ahead because kegs aren't exactly portable. This is more a curiosity than anything and I am interested to hear people's take on this.
Additionally, I do not have a way to keep keg cool as of yet (68F ambient temp) which I assume would have some effect on bottling from a keg if possible.
