I brewed a Huge pumpkin ale over the weekend and I made a 1L starter for it, using a 1.040 starter SG. The pumpkin ale came in at a whopping 1.104. I am now afraid that my starter was not big enough. Should I begin to consider adding a yeast packet or another starter to the wort? Fermentation has already begun and it is churning away pretty vigorously, but I am afraid that it will have a low attenuation from being underpitched. If I should add more yeast, should it be at the beginning of the cycle (48 hrs post pitching) or wait until this round of yeast is done and come in later with more yeast to ferment down what is left?
