Been brewing beer for awhile now, but decided to try a cider a few months ago and have a few questions. Bumped up my og with equal parts honey and agave to 1.070. Finished very dry at .998 or .999. Had some issues with it not clearing up after 2 months so I added SuperKleer and it cleared right up. However, due to nothing but sheer laziness, I still have yet to bottle after 4 months. Last taste about 3 weeks ago was pretty good.
A few questions:
1. If I want to carb in bottles (just a light carbonation) should I just prime, bottle, and wait or do I need to pitch more yeast because it has been sitting around for awhile and I used a fining agent?
2. I was considering pitching brett before bottling. Would this solve any issues with carbonation in addition to adding some funk? Any general thoughts on adding brett?
3. Should I add Brett (or a different yeast) to carboy and give it some more time before bottling or add right before bottling?
Thanks in advance!
