I made a 3 gal batch of cider 5 months ago and have racked it a couple times and it has cleared perfectly. I have it conditioning in a 3 gal carboy under airlock in the basement and was wondering how long is too long before priming will not work (lack of viable yeast). I would like to bottle in another 6 months or so but don't think that priming will be effective without adding yeast and was hoping that wouldn't be necessary. Any information would be much appreciated.
