Kegging and Bottling / Bottling after extended secondary fermentation
« on: November 06, 2009, 06:31:03 AM »
I have a five gallon batch that has been in secondary fermentation for about three weeks now. I was hoping to keg but was unable to get an appropriate setup in a timely fashion. I need to get the beer into bottles but I'm not sure if the yeast is still viable for carbonation.
Would I need to pitch additional yeast or is there still enough life left in the yeast that's in suspension? If I did pitched additional yeast, would that be catastrophic?
