So I'll cut to the chase...I re-hydrated US-05 yeast, was cooling in freezer and due to butterfingers and Star San making my hands slicker than snot, I dropped and spilled about 1/2 to 2/3 of my one cup of re-hydrated yeast. Pitched anyways, like f*ck it, but I didn't have any other yeast on hand so that's all that's in the fermenter with 5 gallons of 1.044 OG wort.
Should I wait and see what the under-pitched yeast does? What are the flavor effects of under-pitched yeast?
Should I go buy a US-05 packet tomorrow morning, re-hydrate and pitch 1/2 or more of it? If so, pitch how much? What are the flavor effects of over-pitching?
Please assist, and many thanks as always. I definitely won't forget this screw up. In the future I will always keep extra yeast on hand and make sure to handle with more care...I'm such an idiot!!!
