So this weekend I pulled the heater out of the rubbermaid that was keeping my Belgian Pale Ale at ~80 as it was finishing out and dropper the temp to ~65, causing about half a quart of three week old starsan and funk to get sucked back into the fermenter. Besides swearing and throwing everything in sight for being a moron how long will it take the yeast to clean out the starsan? Not much besides praying for no infection and hoping for enough alcohol I can do at this point, right?
Recipe was pretty much the same as Saccharomyces except I used Wyeast 1388 Belgian Strong Ale with a OG of 1.056 and an assumed complete ferment after 3 weeks, but no FG measurement to verify yet.

The bucket of sanitizer was cloudy, but no funk was growing in it and there wasn't too much krausen that had blown off and settled in it either.
Wait a few weeks then rack, bottle now, bulk age in the secondary, or what?
