I have a Russian Imperial stout that has been on secondary for about 5 months. I've read a couple of different threads on the subject of adding yeast to the bottling bucket to help carbonate high gravity beers that have been setting in secondary for a while and have found some conflicting information... Maybe differing opinions is a better way to phrase that. So, a) should I add yeast? And, b) what harm will it do if I do add yeast?
I feel like there is really no fear of bottle bombs by adding more yeast, so long as I add the proper amount of sugar since the yeast will only eat what they have available to them.
The only fear I have is the possibility of off flavors. On that note, if I use the same yeast that I used in the beer, will it really be noticeable?
Thanks for the help.
