Making sales and brewing ales.
Hey yall, just wondering what the risk is for repitching some of this slurry. I brewed a 5.5% ABV pale using Lutra Kveik from Omega and racked it 48 hours ago to a keg using a pressure transfer. I want to now use it in an American Amber wort.
I left the fermenter--a Fermzilla--in my garage (50F +/- a few degrees) since racking it, with the pressure relief valve left cracked to prevent pressure build up and rupturing. I did this by lifting the valve and rotating the ring so it can't close. There's maybe a quart of slurry in the fermenter with about as much beer.
If this was a normal ale yeast I'd scrap the yeast and be a little hard on myself for being lazy, but seeing as it's Kveik, do you think its viability is compromised being in those conditions with the pressure relief valve lifted? I'd hate to throw away good yeast if the odds of it being compromised are super low!
Thank you!
