Brewed an imperial IPA that hit 9% with S-05. It was in the primary for 3 weeks, racked it onto gelatin for a week, then dry hopped it for a week. I failed to realize that dropping all (well, vast majority) of that yeast out of suspension might make it very hard to carbonate in the bottle.
I'm concerned that its glorious hop aroma will fade while it's waiting to carb up 6-8+ weeks at room temp. Are my fears unfounded? I've been reading about counterpressure filling from my keg, but I have no experience with that. Maybe stirring up some yeast or adding fresh S-05 would be my best bet for bottling?
