    Hi there,

    I have a batch of milk stout that has been in secondary for a long time (since October). I am about to bottle it and I am wondering if I am going to have problems getting it to carbonate. Do you think the yeast has fallen out of suspension too much? Is there anything I can do to fix that if it has, such as shaking the secondary a bit or pouring a bit of the yeast cake in the bottling bucket and stirring or anything like that? Should I pitch new yeast? Any suggestions?

    Thanks
