I'm brewing a RIS on September 7th (I'm away from home for work, and that's when I'll be home next). I plan on adding cocoa nibs and bourbon soaked oak cubes I the secondary...I'm planning on letting the secondary sit for 2 to 3 months.

I've read about people adding a second yeast pack at bottling to help the bottle conditioning process along. It's going to be a big beer, around 11%, and I just wondered if this would be a good plan.

I'm using wlp007 By the way
 
I'm too OCD.

1) Big healthy starter.
2) good temp control

You won't need to repitch if you get these two right.

Also, it's probably superstition, but I try to roust the yeast starting with the first time I see fermentation slowing and then gently doing so once a day after that. I also finish beers like that (after a month in primary) at warmer room temps (75f or so) if possible.

You'll be fine without repitching. If you do the 2 things above. Cheers!
