Adding more yeast to secondary?

[jkbachman]

I have a pumpkin ale ready for transfer to the secondary. I was thinking about adding more pumpkin to really kick up the flavor, but would I need to add more yeast in? I plan on boiling another 2-3lbs of pumpkin to ensure no bacterial contamination. Would adding more yeast be really necessary or will I be able to get by with the yeast already in the beer? I used American Ale I from Wyeast.

No need for more yeast, if there was enough in there to get it to FG and you haven't aged it for months, you've got plenty in there still.

Yup, the yeast population when you move the brew to secondary is probably at least 50 times higher then when you pitched into primary.
