I brewed an Affligem Noel Christmas Ale clone from the book Beer Captured. The recipe states, "Prime the beer in the second stage with another dose of the same strain of fresh yeast 3 days before bottling...Adding another dose of yeast 3 days before bottling will ensure that the beer is fully fermented and the will greatly improve carbonation." When I measured the beer's gravity while transferring to secondary, it read 1.022 which is it's target FG. Do I need to dose it again? Will that second dose of yeast improve bottle conditioning and/or carbonation? I haven't bottled since I built my kegerator, so I'm a little rusty on bottling techniques, though I don't remember ever having added yeast specifically for carbonation. thanks.
