Over pitching (yeast cake)

[Dazzelknight]

Did a PG Proper Job clone last night and went straight on my previous brews yeast cake (Safale 04). My Fermentation Fridge had a PB full of ale in so I just left it to do it’s thing (was getting late and I was lazy) . Woke this morning to a volcano and a temp of 27’c (room is 20’c) .. Quick clean and it’s now in the fridge with the inkbird set at 20’c. Do you guys think I will get off flavours in the brew because of yeast stress, or will i get away with it ?. It’s the 1st time Iv gone straight over the previous yeast.

I have done this a few times and the popular suggestion is to repitch over 1/3 of the yeast cake, otherwise over pitching.
But this depends on what beer your brewing, more familiar with the 05 yeast, but I expect it will taste OK in the end, just bear it in mind for next time.

Cheers for the heads up Griff. The heat that was coming off it was unreal. Suppose il just have to see how it turns out
