Mixed up a starter and the yeast dregs from a few APAs yesertday.
Problem is I think the SG of the starter was too high. Was shooting for 1040 but put in too much LDME and its probably closer to 1068!

Have I wrecked it or will it be OK?

Tad high, see what happens. You don't want to stress the yeast too early in its new working enviroment. Don't stress about it, though. Good experiment.
 
Should be OK... may take a little while to take off. Just keep an eye on the SG as she goes in case she gets stuck later on.

Cheers - Fermented.
