I have a Chimay clone I'm about to bottle, OG was 1.086, did large yeast starter, let it ferment for over a month, put in secondary, it's been there every since. Original brew date was 4 months ago. Is the yeast still good enough for bottle conditioning, or do I need to add some?
 
The yeast should be fine, but I generally add about 3g of dry yeast if bottling more than 2 months from brew day. I just sprinkle it in the bottling bucket and rack over it. It's good insurance and does not harm. Just make sure to use something alcohol tolerant with that beer.
