Pitched yeast in wrong buckrt.

After a long brew day with many hiccups. I pitched s04 in a bucket of fermented wheat. Has anyone done this before? I'm getting g ready to keg it to get it out of there hopefully it wont throw off any flavors.

How long has it been fermenting and what yeast had you originally planned to use?

Depends on what yeast you used initially, but if that was fully attenuated, I doubt that S04 will do much aside from flocc to the bottom and go to sleep.

Also, masking tape and Sharpie on the bucket lid. You'll never mix em up again.

Sorry... I didn't see the word "fermented" in front of "wheat". Been a long day. I agree, I don't think you'll notice unless you originally used a yeast with really low attenuation and the US-04 had something left to work with.

If you're kegging it real soon, it won't matter anyway.

I kegged it yesterday and got it in the fridge. the original yeast was 3068 for the wheat. My other problem was I used 1 pack of my S04 so I was only left with 1 pack to split between my 2 buckets I made yesterday. I figured it was best to split the yeast so the buckets have positive pressure in them and then pitch another pack between the 2 in a day when it comes.
