I've just tried to step up a starter for the first time. I cold crashed the finished 1L starter, boiled and cooled 2L of new wort at the right gravity... and then poured it in, forgetting to decant the spent wort first!
After realising my mistake, I panicked and ripped up to 2L and stuck it in the brew fridge. I've now got a 2L starter comprising 1L spent wort and 1L new wort.
Is is worth letting it ferment out? Will the yeast be ok for a brew after spending some time in the diluted semi-alcoholic wort? Or is it time to give up and order a new bag of yeast and start again?
