I've got a kreik in a carboy that's six months old. It's bottling time and I wonder if I need to add any dry yeast to get it to carb up. Anyone had any issues with a long aged brew carbing up when bottled?
 
Since it is a kriek, I assume you have some bacteria in it as well as the yeast, and it isn't that high of abv. This shouldn't have a problem carbing up. It might take a month or two though. If you wanted it to be ready faster, then you could try some dry yeast, otherwise I wouldn't bother.
