So I "brewed" this back in July, and I'm gonna be bottling next week. Should I throw in some new yeast at bottling time? I used the recommended Montrachet champagne yeast...
I have an aeration system that I bought from my LHBS, and in the seemingly inevitable demise of my aeration stone, could I use something along the lines of this to aerate my wort?

I've always been a beer fanatic, so last Christmas my girlfriend got me a true brew kit. Many gallons, and a college major change later I'm a home brew fanatic and majoring in fermentation science. She's a keeper!
When the carboys are full I enjoy golfing, fishing, crabbing, reading, hanging with the girlfriend, video games, trying new brews, playing guitar, going to school (sometimes), going to concerts etc.

Every year is the same
And I feel it again,
I'm a loser - no chance to win.
Leaves start falling,
Come down is calling,
Loneliness starts sinking in.
But I'm one.
I am one.
And I can see
That this is me,
And I will be,
You'll all see
I'm the one.
Where do you get
Those blue blue jeans?
Faded...
Had the exact same thing happen with SWMBO and my chocolate vanilla espresso stout. Racked under, bottled, and it tastes awesome. Another peculiar thing I saw was it took place in a bottling bucket, just like ours did.
The reason I don't want to carb it is because my British friend said it's better. I honestly have no experience with ciders, making or drinking, so I'm just going off of what he said.
So long story short, I work with an Englishman who challenged me to a cider contest. I saw this thread and was wondering if I could make it, but not carb it when it comes to bottling. Does it impact the taste of it at all?
