I used one of the Wyeast smack packs that says "create a starter" a few days before brewing. Of course, I grabbed it off the shelf for brewing the same day.
It's bottling time and I'm wondering if I should be concerned about pitching new yeast to ensure my bottles carbonate. I'm not even sure if that is easily or effectively done. I recently used the same Wyeast smack pack to make a Hefe-weizen and some bottles aren't carbonated well while others gush out when you pop the cap.
Should new yeast be pitched for my latest batch or will there be enough yeast present in the wort that the addition of 1 1/4 of malt extract will prime the bottles nicely?
