Okay, I asked yesterday about the extreme cloudiness of my all pilsner malt kolsch with Wyeast Kolsch Yeast 2565. A couple of people reassured me that this is par for the course with this yeast, and my gravity sample (OG 1.050 FG 1.012) tasted fine, except for maybe a very slight green-apple taste. Hopefully that will clear up through cold conditioning and bottle conditioning, which brings me to today's question: can I count on this yeast to wake up in order to carbonate, or do I need to add yeast in the bottling bucket?
I'm cold crashing under primitive conditions - it's in the garage in a tub of water. I'm going to keep it from freezing, otherwise I'm at the mercy of the weather. It will most likely stay in the 30s.
Any advice from someone familiar with this yeast would be helpful.
