I was planning on making a Czech Pilsner this weekend, but I may have run into a little snag...I made 1.5qt starter two days ago, but after 8 hours it was bubbling through the airlock. I had never seen this before, but quickly installed a blowoff tube into a vessel of sanitizer (starsan). This morning I put both the starter and the sanitizer vessel in the fridge to cold crash. After work this evening I checked on it, and noticed that the starter vessel was completely full and the sanitizer was nearly empty. It seems that I started a siphon into my starter. I decanted the sanitizer and some of the wort off (they were pretty defined layers), put in some more starter wort, threw it back on the stir-plate, and wrapped it in a heating blanket.
You guys think any of the yeasties are still alive? or am I up a creek? Either way I'll probably find out tomorrow morning
