I am about to bottle a cider that I made, about 6-7 months ago. I am going to use a gallon of apple juice for primer. Is there still enough yeast to make the cider sparkiling? If I need to add yeast wjat type and how much? This will make a 5 gal batch. I used Wyeast cider yeast.

It was the yeast. It sat around for a couple of months. I picked up some D47 from the brew store. It started to go in about 5 hours. The OG was 1.125.

My first extract brew was a brewers best Irish stout I did that about a year ago. That is one reason why I chose to do a stout. HBT has been a great resource that no brewer should go with out.
