air-lock

I made my 1st batch a few months ago and racked it several times. Clarity was very good but I set it in the corner with an air-lock and kind forgot about it. Does anyone see a problem with me trying to bottle it after 6 months in a carboy with air-lock? I do want to prime it with some sugar to try and get a little sweetness and carbonation. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Zackery

 

How big is your batch? I use 1 cup of priming sugar into the bottling bucket for my 5 gallon batches and that gets it really carbonated. There should be enough yeast still left in there to carbonate, otherwise you would need to pitch some more yeast. I'm really no expert but I've done about 7 batches so far. Any more feedback would be welcome
Thanks

In my experience, I didn't worry about leaving batches in the carboys well after the necessary time. I had no bad results from this, but frankly I don't think I left any for as long as six months.

If it was my batch, I'd proceed as usual.

 

i am agreed ricardo and think there is nothing to worry when batch is in carboys .i always let it go its own way !
