I was brewing today and while waiting for the boil, I decided to rack a Blonde Ale I made a few weeks ago with Nottingham yeast to a keg. As I did so I decided that I could reuse the yeast in the carboy for my next batch, which also requires Nottingham Yeast. Long story short, I added some sterilized water to the carboy, decanted off the yeast into a flask and added the whole thing to my cooled wort. Was that too much? It seemed like a good idea and I was horribly sober at the time.... Now after reading about re-pitching on the forum, I realize that I only needed a quarter to a third of the yeast for the a new batch. Is this batch ruined? What should I expect,aside from a vigorous fermentation, will the beer end up to yeasty?
