I was just looking thru my little black book, and I bottled this batch in the first week of July, and ITS STILL FLAT!! I'm wondering if I remembered to add priming sugar, there's def a layer of yeast in the bottom. I was looking in the batcave, and I still have a full case of bombers (pun intended). Thinking about pouring them all out, repriming, and a splash of fresh yeast, and rebottling.
 
@Scturo another good one! Doing a bottle share with a good buddy that home brews with me. View attachment 660496
Next time I'm down that way I need to stop at Monkish. I've only sampled one of their beers, not even sure which one actually. It was at a bottle share party and someone brought a growler of Monkish beer. It was really good, whatever it was.

Don't pour 'em all out, that's asking for trouble and way too much work. Uncap, sugar cube or carb drop and a speck of yeast in each, recap. The question I'd have is, did the yeast just crap out in a big beer (maybe the layer you're seeing just settled out on bottling, not the result of further fermentation) meaning you already have enough sugar because they never consumed it. Would priming as well as adding yeast make bombs? Maybe do a test bottle or three first, one with sugar, one yeast, one both?

It tastes good, but slightly sweet. This was done with US-05, and I have a brick of it in the fridge. Will hydrate a wee bit, then do a couple sample bottles.

Right now, got the stir plate swirling up a 3L starter for a tripel bomb.
