Gave it a shot of Tronozymol, not even a peep out of it so far... Will just stick it in a cupboard and age it then, see what happens. There must be no yeast left.

I think I'll give it a bit of a kick with Tronozymol, and re-rack to try and get the most out of the yeast. Then I'll just age it for a month and see what happens.
