Enough Yeast?

[DaveDiedDancing]

I planned on brewing a 6.5 gallon batch of lager (OG 1.048) tomorrow. I made a 2 L starter in a stir plate with Imperial Harvest and then stepped up to a 3.5 L starter.

However, after the first 10 hours of the 3.5 L starter being on the stir plate, I noticed significant overflow due to foaming and removed it from the stir plate and let it sit with no agitation for another 14 hours. It’s now chilling in the fridge. My thought is that I should reschedule brew day tomorrow and get more yeast. Is this the best course of action or is there enough there? I realize this is tough to calculate. Thank you in advance.

Gordon Strong has said that he often just pitches a single smack pack into his lagers. If that is true, your pitch is overkill. Aerate the wort well and you yeast will multiply in there.
