Bother with more yeast?
If I do - right with bottling sugar or a day or two earlier?

Sounds delicious.

Through some reading I'm torn if I should rack to a secondary on a kit amber ale. I know ale is a generally an easy brew that can be left primary through the whole process but I'm interested in racking for clarity. Thoughts on racking the simple ale and risking oxidation or contamination vs. the benefits of a secondary fermenter?
