Had half the day off work this morning so I took the opportunity with swmbo out at work for an impromptu brew sesh. Was brewing BM's Centennial Blonde. Everything was going really well with a good mini mash, strong rolling boil.
I decided to maximize hop utilization with late dme additions. Although ended up being too late, all the dme didn't end up mixing properly. I didn't realise until half was alreay in carboy. With time against me I was forced to pour wort back into pot, cover and leave in fridge for 6-7hrs till I'm home again. I plan on putting back on boil for 20-30mins when I get home.
Is this ok? Will it affect my beer?
Is it ok to leave hydrated dry yeast on bench (covered w foil) ?
Please reassure me !!!!
