Under-pitching Yeast

[Xander]

Just wondering what would happen if I pitched an amount of yeast (Wyeast 1968) made for 19L in 23L of wort, what would happen?
Would it ruin a brew, take longer to reach FG or anything else I can't think of...?

Cheers

It would be fine. May take slightly longer to fire up, but nothing drastic.. yeast reproducers rather quickly

4 litre difference is nothing.

If the starter is healthy it should not matter
