Since I asked a question about liquid yeasts, it got me to thinking about something here:
Normally I double and triple check to make sure I have all my ingredients. Then I go and forget something as simple as a net bag for my grains to steep in! Har har!
But let's say that something goes wrong with my yeast. I've got a 4 year old at home and he decides that he wants to play with the starter yeast and spills it everywhere, and I don't have a back up. Mater of fact, I've already had the wort boiling and it was being chilled to pitch the yeast when I discover this (AAAAUUUUHHHHGGGG! we can hear Charlie Brown screaming!). This is hypothetical.
Once I've chilled the wort, pour it in to the fermentation bucket and seal it with the air lock, how long can the wort stand like that? Meaning I had to get more yeast and it's going to take a day or two. Wouldn't the wort be just fine?
