I made the Flanders Red in brewing classic styles about a year ago. I initially pitched us-05, when fermentation subsided, I transferred to secondary and pitched the bugs. Again that was about a year ago. I'm getting ready to bottle it. Will the year old yeast be good enough to prime and carbonate our should i do something different?
 
No, if your beer is as acidic as it should be all your yeast is probably dead...you will need to put more yeast in when you prime it...even then CO2 production is probably going to be slow due to the PH.
