Would adding another small batch of lager yeast (same strain used in primary) to a secondary before lagering be a problem?
I plan on lagering for about 5 weeks at ~40degF.
I don't see how this could be a problem, besides some early flocculation, as long as I pitch cold.
I figured this might be able to insure any extra oxygen that got into my wort during the transfer to my secondary could be used by some new, healthy yeast.
Another reason: I'm worried I under-pitched my starter yeast and I figured this might insure that a higher overall attenuation is reached.
I will check my gravity after 2 weeks to see if about 2/3 of the FG is reached. If not, this seems like it should be a good method. However, please tell me if there is a problem!
