Ooops!

I am worried about my primary fermentation because I moved the bucket to a shelf after adding the yeast and some spilled out as I was lifting it! Do I need to add more yeast in case it came out with the spilled portion?? Help!!

A pack of yeast costs a buck. Better to be safe than sorry.

Would adding extra yeast change the taste though?

Are you saying that you pitched the yeast on top of the bucket, and then some of the liquid from the top of the bucket fell out, removing some yeast but leaving most behind? If so, you will be fine. The remaining yeast will multiply and take care of your fermentation. If you do choose to add some more yeast, it will not change the taste.
