So, in haste, I decided to pitch a jar of washed Nottingham yeast into an Amber Ale this weekend. I actually split the 10G batch into two 5G batches for fermentation, and pitched a dry pack of S-04 hydrated into one carboy, and the washed notty into the other. For the notty, I pitched about 300 ml of milky slurry. I DID NOT make a starter.
The Notty batch got off to a slow start, and is still active after 48 hours. The S-04 is generally done.

Is this an issue? Will I have under-pitched the batch? Anything else I should do?
