Do i need to add more yeast?

[abeerisworth1000words]

Working on my first lager, an oktoberfest. Fermented in the primary for 21 days @ 48F, gave it a diacetyl at room temp for about 36 hours, and transferred it to secondary. I gradually lowered the temp to about 35F and its been steady at 35F for about three weeks. was thinking its time to bottle and carbonate.

Should i give it more time to lager before bottling?

And when i bottle, should i pitch more yeast before adding my sugar to carbonate?

Original gravity - 1.050
Final gravity when moved to secondary - 1.013

you won't need more yeast to carbonate the lager, there is plenty still in there to do the job.

that is very common, as you will find if you stay on these forums long enough, HBS employees who give and sometimes insist on bad advice.
