Came home from a DR appointment today and was checking on my brew, noticed a crack in the secondary up near the top, worried it would leak,/let air in/screw up everything i transfered from that secondary to another, and left 99% of the yeast behind at the bottom of the previous secondary/carboy.... Is this going to cause me issues? as in no chance in hell of carbonation? Or should it all be fine? and i can add my sugar mix when ready to bottle?

If this batch is no good now its not the end o the world due to the cost of it, but will be a huge piss off.

I wouldn't worry about no chance of carbonation... and if you want to be sure, just pitch a bit of dry yeast into the bottling bucket when you go to package the beer, along with your priming sugar. Should be fine.

how long has it been in secondary?

Wicked thanks, ill take my chances this time, ill be using the PET plastic bottles instead of regular beer bottles, so hopeing that doesn't add to the broken lol

Yeah, you would have racked off of it anyway into the bottling bucket.

you should have no problem with carbonation still enough yeast there

Awesome thanks, So presumably one could do this to ensure their beer clears up as well?and to cut down on sediment in bottles when it comes to bottle day, cuz it is looking pretty clear now, but i am letting it sit untill the day after my daughters eye surgery, then will let the bottles sit for about 14 days, as i need to gear up space to accommodate everything i have here now.

yes and no. when i used to bottle it was usually 1 week in primary, 2 weeks in secondary, transfer to a bottling bucket with a spigot add the sugar and bottle. sediment still forms because you are fermenting the sugar to create the carbination.
