Using Glass Carboy for primary-quick question

[gover151]

So I've done a few kits now and have a quick question about adding the yeast when I use a Carboy to primary. If I add the yeast to the bucket I mix in right away should it all transfer to the Carboy when I rack? Or do I try adding the yeast after I rack to the carboy, just concerned that a significant portion of the yeast will be left behind. What have been others experiences in this method.

If you are using a carboy, what is the bucket for? Pitch the yeast in the carboy after you've added your wort. I usually cool in the kettle and transfer directly to the fermenter then add the yeasties, i like 8 gallon buckets, though glass is fun to watch.
