So a bit of a back story,
I got a SS Brew bucket for my B-Day back in June and when that batch was done I wanted to save some of the slurry.
I usually over build a starter but didn't this time because I'm lazy. So once my brew was completed and kegged, I decided last minute to save some of the slurry. I basically took my brew bucket swirled it a bit and dumped some of the slurry into a sanitized mason jar.
I plan on brewing on Thursday but I'm confused on what I should do with regards to pitching the slurry and if its even ok to use. I do have some dry yeast as backup if this isn't a good idea.
Should I decant and pitch away? or Decant and do a starter? Decant and do a vitality starter? Or just use the dry yeast.
I should also mention that this beer will end up in a competition in November.
