I am going to be kegging my first beer next weekend. It is a stout so I was planning on letting it age for a few months. I was wondering if there is any reason not to age beer in a keg without hooking up the co2 and carbonating it? In other words could I just hook up the co2 a couple of weeks before i plan on tapping it or is the carbonation import to the aging process in some way? I was planning on hooking it up at the beginning just to force the O2 out with the co2 then disconnecting.
