Yeast dead - too long in primary?

[TheFurstyFerret]

Hey folks

So I had a batch of Coopers IPA with a some light DME and some dextrose in primary in May.

Soccer season took over then work got busy so I only got round to bottling it last night - 6 months in primary!

It smelled and tasted ok and the FG was about 1.005 so 6.9% or so. Although it did look darker than usual. I dry hopped a couple of times within the last month with Cascade.

My question is will the yeast still be in solution to eat the priming sugar?

Will it be a matter of leaving it in the bottle for a month to carb up or do I need to take some action now?

Thanks!

It should be fine.

Does it still smell like beer?

Dynachrome,

Could smell the cascade hops but no other aroma really.

....I'd pour a glass and drink it - then head into bottling.

It will be flat right out of the fermentor, but its beer.

Prime it and bottle it.

You should be fine. It may take a little longer, but it will prime.

Oh I bottled it last night!

Just wondering if I need to do anything else to it.

Thanks
