Beer

I let my ale set in the primary for 2 1/2 months , about 2 months longer than normal , beautiful color & taste great but cleared out completely . Will there be enough yeast still suspended in it to ferment it with sugar or should I stir a little sludge back in when adding sugar ?

I' say should be OK

I once aged a stout on oak cubes for a year before bottling and spaces out and forgot to add yeast. It still carbed up, it just took longer. Not that I advocate doing that on purpose but it worked.

At 2 1/2 months, you will be just fine. But if you want the peace of mind, sure add some yeast.
