I just finished cooking an Imperial IPA that has an extremely high original gravity - 1.095. I pitched one vial of California Ale and did not do starter with it (I know, I should have...). I cooked and pitched my yeast on Jan. 1. It started visibly fermenting on Jan. 2, about 20 hours after pitching and seems to be going strong.
Because my gravity is so high I am now a bit concerned about my beer being too sweet because due to me only using one liquid vial of yeast and not creating a starter with it. At this point in time I would like to add more yeast. But, that's my question. Can I add more yeast to a batch that is already fermenting? If so, are there any special considerations when doing so?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
