I believe your OG was 1.049, so 1 pack of dry yeast is fine…. For a really big lager like a doppelbock, pitching a lot more yeast is a good idea, such as a big starter or two packs of dry yeast.

As far as adding yeast at bottling time, I’ve never done that. When I used to bottle, I was always told there was plenty of yeast still in suspension that would take off once the priming sugar was added.

Ive pitched 1 and had no problems that said I generally pitch 2. Old habits die hard. I think the theory was to get a fast fermentation but not sure it works that way.

Beautiful! Thanks again!

And yes, you’ll have yeast in suspension that’ll eat the sugar… consume some O2… make it all bubbly… be patient.
