Still a newbie. I got through the extract brewing process fine, but afterwards I was concerned about cooling the wort to 50 degrees (brewing a lager) and forgot to mix the wort with the water that brings it up to 5 gallons together well. I didn't notice till I went to take a gravity reading and it was reading well low of my estimated OG. I have been told its hard to due that due to extract kits being made for that OG and that made me realize I forgot to mix and aerate my wort.
Will the under mixed wort affect the lag time on my fermentation? I made a starter (first time) and read that speeds up the lag time of fermentation. I pitched my starter at the same or a little colder than the temp of the wort which was 50 degrees.
Its only been 16 hours so no need to panic. I'm just realizing a mistake and wondering the consequences.
