I've tried searching around here but couldn't find any definitive answers.
I have 3 beers (Chile Chocolate Stout, Stone IPA Clone & Haus Pale - all 5G batches) and 10 G of Apfelwein that have been in the secondary for around 2 months (lazy bottler). I have a few questions:
1.) How long can a beer sit in 2ndary until it develops off flavors.
2.) I'm assuming the lingering yeast is no longer viable enough to carbonate a bottle - should I repitch before bottling? What kind of yeast (champagne?) and how much?
Thanks in advance!
