I've got a stout that's been in a secondary with a Brett blend for 10 months. FG is stable at 1.010. I'm ready to bottle it and was thinking some fresh yeast would be good to add.

My LHBS is out of US-05 & US-04 and I have some Red Star Cuvee wine yeast in the fridge. Can that be used for carbonation or will it ferment some of the sugars left behind by the beer yeast and Brett?

Thanks!
 
Pretty sure wine yeast won't eat what Brett won't, so you should be good with just priming sugar and it shouldn't take down the beer any further and cause problems.
 
Thanks, that's what I thought but wanted to check.

It shouldn't add any flavor since there is so little sugar for the yeast to eat, right?
