I am following the directions to make German Altbier and it says to move the wort into the secondary fermenter after 5-7 days. I am going to move it on the 6th. I am worried about the yeast and carbonation. I am just going siphon the wort into the secondary (a carboy) and seal it up, without adding anything. It should finish fermenting in there and then i will let it sit for another 2 weeks. After those 2 weeks i will bottle it. My questions...
1-I'm worried about the yeast and just letting them sit in the secondary for 2 weeks. Will they still be alive and able to carbonate the beer in the bottles? Will i have to oxygenate the bottles?
2-Someone please explain how to bottle from a carboy and when to add the priming sugar....after i add the beer or before i add the beer?
