Ok so here's my conundrum, take a read when you're free. I searched all the boards but can't find anybody who did what I did. I'd appreciate some input if you can. I THINK I'm ok, but I'm not sure...
Two days ago I mistakingly put 16 ounces of DME into 1600 ml of water, boiled, cooled, pitched two vials. Next day I was reading because I haven't seen any action so I was a little nervous. I read up on it and saw my ratio was off. Wasn't supposed to be 1:100, but rather 1:10. Sooooo....
I dumped the mixture into a big bowl, cleaned and sanitized the flask, added 1600 ml of water. When I hit boil I dumped the water out of the bowl and then poured the the yeast that had settled in the bowl into the new boil. Just for ****s I added a third vial to make sure at least some viable yeast made it in.
So basically my yeast stirred for 24 hours in almost no DME (16 grams) and mostly all water.
It's been 24 hours since I redid everything and haven't seen any activity.
Is my yeast ruined? Was there any harm in it stirring in water and a tiny bit of DME for 24 hours? I read a lot of repitching and repitching and repitching the same yeast so I think I basically repitched because I screwed up the the first time.
