Greetings all,
Just about at the end of my lagering of a Morgans Cervaza and have a question to throw out there.. It's been cold lagering at 2 degrees celcius for a month and a half, my choice of yeast was 2 sachets of Fermentis Saflager S-23. I am wanting to bottle this very soon and am not too sure if I should be adding further yeast before priming? Should I add more yeast, or do you thing after this length of time there should be enough yeast still in suspension? I did rack after primary had finished (Approx 3 weeks) and have let is store cold now for around a month and half. If you guys think I should add more yeasties, should I use a lager yeast or would a spare Coopers Ale yeast satchet I have in the fridge do the trick? I plan on conditioning at the current temps we are subject to here in Newcastle, so it'll be fairly cool - hence my intial thought is a lager yeast. It's looking like it'll be one of my finest K&K's judging from some samples I have tasted from Hyrdo readings, and want to get this bad boy absolutely right.
Your assistance/advice is greatly appreciated.
