I just bottled my ESB pilsener after CC'ing for 12 days. Nice & clear heaps of yeast in the bottom of the CC fermenter so all is good. I bottled yesterday. 21 Litres with 200g of Dex.
My question is. - Will there be enough yeast left to carbonate? The local HBS bloke reckons i would of killed all the yeast from CC'ing at -1.5 to 0 deg. And my beer will be flat. He said i will need to knock the tops of em all and drop a drop of rehydrated yeast into each bottle.
What i dont understand is all you guys CC for heaps longer than 12 days, so do u have this problem?
