Ah, naive youth. Those bygone days of halcyon yore, or something like that.
I used to believe that I could go from the fermenter after four weeks to the keg, force CO2 it, and voila! Beer ready to drink.
I tried it. What I got was just carbonated, chilled, green beer.
So how long do you guys let your brew age in the keg before you start drinking? How much time for a 7 percent versus a 9 percent?
And how does my local microbrew pub (I live in San Diego) deal with this issue?
Thanks
