Hello HBer's,
I am in the process of lagering my first lager-style beer, a Pilsner. Yeast was WLP810, Cal Lager and I will be lagering for ~ 2weeks at ~ 41F ( do not have frig for this and am using a homemade cooler with ice bottles). My concern is that there may not be a sufficient number of viable yeast cells for bottle carbonation. Is this a viable concern and should I add a 5 gram packet of yeast to bottling bucket, or will such a short lagering period make yeast addition unnecessary?
I did review some previous post on this subject, but none were specific to my case.
Regards, Tom
