Around November of last year, I brewed a 5 gallon batch of BierMuncher's OktoberFAST Ale. I try to make a true Marzen each year, but got too late of a start last year. It was ready to bottle in early December..... and has sat in my secondary fermentation vessel (a 6 gal glass carboy) in a dark corner of my basement ever since. A tragedy, I know! Life got busy, excuses, excuses.
The beer still looks and smells good. I plan to taste it this weekend, and if it doesn't have any off-flavors, I'm going to bottle it. My question is, do I need to add additional yeast before bottling, or will the original yeast become active again once the beer is mixed with some priming sugar?
Thank in advance!
