Haha, Revvy, I really am sorry... you've been very helpful, I'm willing to accept that I was a jerk. So your saying I can use the dry yeast dry, and just use a few grains, as opposed to rehydrating it first... is there a benefit to rehydrating it first? Also, on a sidenote, can I use this as an opportunity to dry the beer out slightly, or will that inevitably happen by adding new yeast?

I know this question was not directed to me but yes I would rehydrate. The yeast will most likely not "enjoy" their new high gravity home and we all know yeast do not possess the ability to regulate what passes through their membranes when rehydrating. I'm no biologist but I would assume this would be a very hostile environment for them. I did not but still got decent results.
