Re-pitcing question

[acarr160]

Hey everyone. First lager is in the fridge and life got in the way. New baby a month early and the such. I did an extract Octoberfest and its about three weeks after recommended bottling date. Should I worry about re-pitching or do you think I should be ok? It's been sitting at about 36-38 degrees after diacytal rest. Thanks for the help.

It's kind of a toss up. If you don't repitch, it will probably take a bit longer to carb, but likely still will. If you repitch, it is nearly guaranteed to happen quicker. Your extended lagering, accidental or not, likely improved the beer.

Congrats too, Dad.
