Has anyone ever used dry and liquid yeast in one batch before?

I didn't have time to make a starter for my liquid yeast so I rehydrated about 4-5 grams of dry yeast to make up for the cell count. I wonder what effect this will have?
 
no effect, other than making beer :)

you're adding one strain of saccharomyces to another strain of sacc. you might get some taste impacts, depending on what kind of yeasts you're mixing, but nothing evil will happen.
 
I had poorly washed yeast that I pitched into wort about 2 weeks ago. I got ancy and impatient and after 36 hours of no airlock movement I pitched some dry yeast to good success. One yeast is going to out compete the other so the only thing thats going to happen is beer :)
