OK, I have a son due any day now and I'm kinda in a hurry to force carbonate the brew I've got fermenting.

I brewed a Irish Pale Ale Sunday, Oct 2 and left it for primary fermentation. It fermented at about 78 degrees. Saturday, Oct 8 I moved it to the secondary fermentation.

My question is: How soon can I keg & force carbonate this with it still tasting good? This is my first batch so I'm not sure how long I must wait for secondary fermentation, but I want a drink to celebrate when we bring our son home from the hospital.

Thanks.

Buy a slab for the birth and maybe have the Home Brew for the Christening?

Don't rush it. In this childs life 2 weeks one way or another won't make a big difference right now. Not like he/she is going to be knocking it back, well except through Mom.

Congrats by the way,

Good luck witht he birth and Congradulations.

hey, maybe if he'll hold out another week i can have the brew
