I made a brown ale (ChshreCat's Brown Biscuit), and pitched Wyeast 1098 on Saturday. This morning there was still no airlock activity, I know, I know, don't rely on airlocks. Anyhow, I rehydrated some S-05 and pitched, then noticed the healthy krausen. My question is, will the Brit ale yeast still contribute to the party, or will the S-05 take over? Rather ticked that I wasted yeast.
Lesson learned, and offered; check for krausen first!! I've got several AG batches under my belt, but still jumped the gun.
edit: I should add that I mashed at 156#, so it shouldn't get too dry, should it?
