So long story short in February of 2012 I made a 5 gal bath of PTE. Sadly life got in the way and this one batch just never got moved to secondary. It's sat in my garage through winter and summer and winter and half of this summer and I got it down to dump. Would you believe it was tasty?!?!? All the hops were long gone of course but it was tasty. No odd flavors from sitting on trube for 17 months, nothing off at all. So I racked it onto 2 oz of hops and it's setting in secondary now at about 11.8% ABV.
My question ere is I have never dealt with a beer this old and my guess is the yeast have long ago given up the ghost. My plan is to bottle this beer, how do I go about getting it bottle carbbed now? Do I make a starter and then add the amount of corn sugar to that and then pitch all of that or what?
I really am at a loss here.
