So I was making a Kit from Coopers Recipe of the Month, Roger Roger Ale.

I went to rehydrate the US-05, however mad a bit of a boo boo

I placed about 300ml of water into my sanitized mixing jar so I could get a reading from my thermometer. I was suppose to pour out the excess so I had 110ml left, however forgot to do this.

I realised after I poured the yeast in. Went ahead and let it sit for 15 min, then stirred then let sit another 10.

Anyone know if this will cause a problem. Its been 24 hours and no krasuen activity yet. Will check again tomorrow after work and take a sample to check gravity to see whats happening. If I have to I can sprinkle another US-05 on top.
 
Aside from slightly diluting your wort by about 190ml, I dont think there will be any issues

All good
 
Unless I've got my IPA glasses on, all that went wrong was too much water? If so.. RDWHAHB
 
Thanks for the replys and reinforcement it will be good, now to drink wine as I am waiting for my kegs to carb up.
