Brewed up a Porter yesterday, OG was 1.074. Well higher than I'd planned, so I'd only purchased one tube of White Labs WLP013 London Ale. I was considering purchasing another and re-pitching due to the high OG. Currently the porter is fermenting VERY vigorously, just short of a blow off.
Lately I've had carbonation problems, and after reading an article in BYO, I do believe I tend to under-pitch. So, should I pitch another vial, and if so when? I want to make sure I don't have a short but vigorous fermentation, with a lack of viable yeast rendering it unable to carb, like the pale (read: fiasco) I did recently.
