Ok, so I've looked up a few things relating to this, but haven't found any definitive answers yet, so i thought I'd ask the hive mind here.
I have a 5 gallon batch in the carboy now. I dry- hopped it (which i had never done before) by dropping hop pellets directly into the carboy. Obviously this resulted in hop flakes all through my beer, so i decided to cold crash it to get the flakes to sink.
Now that I'm ready to bottle, I'm worried that since cold crashing the yeast will have fallen too much and i won't get good carbonation. I'm considering adding a small amount of dry yeast with my priming sugar.
I made this batch to take to a friend's wedding next weekend and I'm hoping to have a decent amount of carbonation by then.
Your thoughts? How much yeast should i use? How much sugar? Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks for your input
