So, my 2nd batch is finally in the secondary dry hopping after taking a full 21 days for primary fermentation to finish. The OG was 1.066 and it took off fast but really slowed down later, taking an entire 3 weeks to stabilize at 1.014. Ferm temp was 68 degrees.
This particular yeast was from a brewery near my house - they filled me up a quart mason jar right out of their fermenter of the same beer I was basing my recipe on. Based on their instruction I pitched about a cup, and thought I was probably pitching a lot compared to store-bought yeast, but now (since it took so long to finish) I think I may have underpitched.
I am planning to bottle in about a week, but I am guessing that these yeasties may be pretty tired. Would it make any sense to add more yeast to the bottling bucket? Would I risk having bottle bombs?
TIA
