Bottling a Quad - should I have added yeast?

[AnimatedGIF]

I just bottled a quad (came out a little low at 9.8%). Just cleaned up and it occured to me, should I have used yeast for bottling too as it's a strong beer? I guess I'll find out in a year or so, but anyone think it'll be ok? I'm worried it won't carb.

I've never added yeast at bottling as long as there is some 'sugar' left in the beer that they yeast will chew on and the yeast isn't at its alcohol tolerance limit it will be fine. I've had 12%+ from a single packet of dried yeast.

Thanks, that's reassuring to know. I'll stop worrying
