I put my 1.050 porter into the keg for secondary and planned to tap right off that. FG is supposed to be 1.018-20 and I am right at 1.020.

Problem is I forgot to prime.

It has been like this for one week.

I now have 10lbs Co2 to eliminate air.

Should I add priming sugar now or is it too late?

Should I force carbonate and rely on gas to carbonate beer?

Thanks

If you were intending to naturally carbonate it then go ahead and prime it and then seal it. It'll carbonate as long as it hasn't been excessively cold or anything odd. If it were me I'd probably give it a quick shake to resuspend any flocc'ed yeast but it's probably not even necessary.

Just put some co2 on it and carbinate that way I've done all my beers that way turns out good

I agree, set your reg for your standard serving pressure, stick it in the fridge till it hits serving temp, hook up the gas and shake until the reg stops putting CO2 in the keg…then it is ready to serve!
