I’ve been brewing for 15+ years and this is the first time I’ve not really been able to find an answer to a wacky situation. I’ve seen close situations, but not any that have resolution at the end.
I brewed 10g of Helles wort and had huge kviek lutra starter ready, chilled it down to about 110 or so and brought it into the house for a psuedo Helles when I hear a crash. My daughter had accidentally bumped the table holding the flask of yeast slurry and it was awash for an otherwise lovely brew day.
I’m not close to a LHBS, so I quick 2 day ordered some more Lutra, but amazingly, it won’t be here until Tuesday. That said, brew day was Thursday, and I CAN/COULD pitch Tuesday when it arrives. It’s in a 14g Chapman Stainless Bucket, and to this point there has been no activity in the airlock.
My initial thinking is nearly 5 days is a no go, as I’ve not done what a no-chill brewer would do by any stretch. My sanitation game is strong (have only had one issue in all these years and it was when I was teaching my brother to brew).
I half way want to dump the wort and not waste all the Lutra that’s coming, but the other half wants to see what would happen having waited that long. I’ve never used Kviek in my life, so thought maybe some would know who do have experience with it. I know the potential for nasties already being present is highly possible.
Thoughts?
