Priming a keg is like marrying a supermodel and doing it with the lights off.
Or its like not having any room in your keg fridge.
 
I reckon some styles would benefit from natural carbonation in the keg, like Dubbels or Belgian Strong Ales, even stouts where yeast is a big part of the ageing and flavour developing process. I have even naturally carbed a lager in a keg before and it turned out really similar to my normal lagering + force carb process, but I only did it when I had no gas!
 
Chill keg.
200kpa for 48 hrs, which is slightly undercarbed.
Reduce to about 80kpa for serving.
Leave at 80kpa and it will be nicely balanced by tomorrow.

or serving pressure for a week
