  • Accidental re-pitch

    It was bound to happen one day. I had harvested yeast from one batch and intended to pitch into batch i was brewing yesterday. Got a phone call, and before i realized it pitch into wrong fermenter. It went into a batch that was 2 days in and doing quite nicely. Not sure what to do, theses are 6 bbl batches, so I crashed to 50 overnight last night. Still going this morning and nothing collected in cone. Went down another 5f, but not sure this is what i should be doing? Do I just let it finish, hope for low ester and flavour production, then crash? My thinking is to crash, remove as much as I can, then free rise back to ferm temp to clean up. Anybody with better idea?
    Thanks, Dave

    Dave, I would leave it as is, the excess yeast will not thrive due to the lack of oxygen which was taken up by the first yeast, so the amount you repitched will not propagate any further and effect might be negligible.
