Hi all,
I am working on brewing a strong ale with an OG of 1.070. I have been doing a bit of reading and have noticed that some people, especially those who brew higher gravity beers, recommend re-pitching yeast before bottling. Is this really necessary? Would I especially need to do this if i were to cold condition at about 35 degrees for 1 week? My original plan was secondary fer for 7-14 days and then one week in cold conditioning. Any thoughts? Some guidance on this would be much appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
