I'm sure this has been asked before, but I am just too lazy to search the forums.

Shortly I will be bottling my first ever lager. Its is an all grain Maibock. Its been in cold storage, 35-38 degrees F, for 4 weeks now. In a couple of weeks Im going to bottle it. The beer is extreamly clear, I can see the other side of the carboy through the beer. I will be using corn suger to prime with. My question, will more yeast need to be added when I prime? Or should I just suck up some of the yeast sediment when racking? Or should I just DWHAHB? I have come too far with this tasty brew to screw it up by not getting good carbonation in the bottle. Thanks. :mug:
 
there should be enough yeast still in the beer to carbonate it, but it can't hurt to suck up a little sediment into the bottling bucket to be sure.
