looks spot onSitting at 1.011. Took a little sip. Still very green. Needs time and more hops. Gonna do the second round tomorrow. Will re-evaluate next week.

You can definitely just go ahead and keg it.What temp do you go down to? Would it be better to reduce temp in the keg itself since I can purge that of oxygen? I'm trying to figure out the best option for the airlock.
It should be fine, as mentioned I only reduce to serving temperature for a day before kegging.That was kind of my thought too. Essentially it would be cold-ish crashing while in the keg. That way I can just gravity feed it into a CO2 layer filled keg to avoid any more oxygen. I figure it'll need a week or two to carb at 10-12psi so just let it settle while it waits.
I've seen people say both ways for an NEIPA so I wasn't sure what to do. I wasn't sure if that left over hop junk and yeast would give the beer a gritty mouth feel.
It is ready now, 3-4 days of flat gravity, but can wait weeks in the fermenter if necessary.Sounds like a plan. Appreciate the response.
One more question. Probably dumb, but I’ve never done this before. At what point do I know to keg? Temp and gravity have leveled off for the last 3-4 days. It’s been 9 days since I brewed. I’m going out of town this weekend but was thinking it should be ready to be kegged possibly Monday.
Sounds good. I’ll give it a few more days since I’m going out of town. Then I’ll just keg it and get it rocking.It is ready now, 3-4 days of flat gravity, but can wait weeks in the fermenter if necessary.
Connected at 12psi at 41/42°F.Keg it!
Better not to leave the beer sitting on the hops too long anyways.
Put pressure on it right away, no reason to wait to do that
Cannot hurt. Probably help. So, yes.Should I run off a pint or two in a couple days to get some of the settling shit out?
