I am about to bottle a IIPA. It has been in a feremntor for 22 weeks.
Do i need to add yeast at bottling or will the remaining yeast beable to carbonate enough?
Thanks
Tim
 
I would probably rehydrate some dry yeast and toss that into the bottling bucket while you are racking.
 
It may just take them a while longer to carbonate the beer. You can always stir up some of them from the bottom of the fermenter while transferring to your bottling bucket and be good to go.

well i bottled it.. I had some dry yeast so i figured it wouldn't hurt since i have spent this much time and money on the beer might as well give it a fighting chance.
It tasted amazing warm and uncarbonated.

Will keep you all updated.
