I recently brewed a Flanders Red ale, and used WLP655. I left in primary for about 3 weeks, before racking into a carboy for ageing, along with the addition of some oak cubes.
That was a week ago, and to day I have seen no activity whatsoever in the carboy. I know the bugs can take a while to get started, but I am a bit concerned that I left this in primary for too long before transferring. Should I be worried?
I still have the yeast slurry (underneath another batch that I'm brewing), when I rack the second batch off would it be worth adding a small portion of the slurry to the ageing beer to get the bugs going?,...or should I just wait and see??
