Quick question on an apfelwein that fermented in early November 2014 that I forgot about.

Used fresh pressed cider treated with Campden, and fermented with Cotes de Blanc yeast. Totally forgot about this carboy and it is still sitting in a cool dark spot. I want to bottle this, but wondering if at this point if I need to add additional yeast?

Thoughts?

It will either a) be the best cider you've ever tasted, or b) fe totally ruined by autolysis. If you racked it at any point in the first few months, my money's going to be on "a".

Fortunately its A - I racked it - then promptly forgot about it. Time will tell!
