I just bottled a Williams Red Sour Ale. Here is the problem - I pitched the yeast for carbonation when I transferred the wort from the primary to the secondary fermenter. Today, as I looked at my instructions to add the sugar for carbonation, I realized my mistake and included some dry yeast I had from a previous batch. In essence - I have tripled yeasted my beer. Any ideas what that will do to it as I age it?
 
As long as you added priming sugar at bottling time, the beers will carbonate and the yeast will settle at the bottom.
 
Bottle grenades are due to excessive primer - or infections that chew up every last carb in the beer.

Excessive yeast? No. That just makes a deeper sediment layer requiring a bit more care in pouring. It'll be fine...


Cheers!
