Hi everybody,
Still feel very new to brewing... this would be my third extract kit I brewed.
Today and I made a couple errors with my yeast.
First off, I used one WYeast 1056 American ale for my brew that has an OG of 1.064. From what I've read, on the Wyeast website, I should've pitched two packets.
Secondly, I completely forget to check the wort temperature before I pitched and I ended up pitching @ 80 degrees. oops.
Any thoughts on troubleshooting these errors? Should I pitch a second packet? or would that risk aerating my wort? Or am I just overreacting?
Also Its Sunday night, the homebrew store isn't open until Tuesday, so it would be 48 hours until I could pitch that second packet.
Thanks in advance everyone.
