Ikeeger

[Eltham Brauhaus]

I am toying with the idea of turning my garage fridge into a Keggerator and kegging 5lt of the droids 10l capacity and bottling the remaining 5l.

From what I have read, forced carbonation enables consumption in 48 hours instead of minimum 2 weeks + for natural carbonation in bottles using carbonation drops.

My question is how does the quality of the 48 hour forced carbonation in kegs compare with natural carbonation in bottles for 2 + weeks. It seems to me that the 48 hour forced carbonation kegging system misses out on the flavour benefits obtained from an extended secondary fermentation stage.
