I know I made a mistake but I'm trying to figure out how big of one I have made. I had made 2 ... 2 liter starters with wyeast abbey yeast and let them decant for 3 days. I'm brewing in 2 days so I created 2 .... 3 liter starters and added the new wort to the starters. I'm brewing a trippel. However I made the mistake and pitched them around a temp of 85-88 F. I have time to decant them again before final pitch on brew day but I wanted to see if I'm gonig to produce alot of easters from this intial mistake?

Thanks!!!!!
 
I would decant, as you suggested, and pitch the yeast. If you pitch the remaining yeast at a good temp into the wort and manage the fermentation temps, I think you will not get excess esters or off-flavors.
 
Thanks! Some re-assurance makes me feels better. I wonder if there is better chances at cell mutation. I know they always says to make a starter at the temp your going to ferment at so wasn't sure. I did keep it at 65 for fermentation in the starter so I hope it helps.
