hey all,
I've made a couple 1 gallon recipes with varying success so since I received a five gallon carboy as a gift, i decided to try my hand at a bigger quantity. Everything generally went well, except in reading the recipe, I accidentally forgot to add the right amount of yeast. So the 1 gallon calls for 1/2 packet of ale yeast and the 5 gallon recipe calls for 1 full packet. i Only added 1/2 packet and I didnt' realize until now (violent fermentation has stopped) and I've already put the airlock on. I began brew a week ago.
Should i leave well enough alone or add more yeast and re-aerate?
