So I was trying to use the second runnings from a big beer. The second running gravity came out at 1.022 at 20C. I wasn't really paying attention until I was cleaning up and had already pitched my yeast.
1. If this ferments down wont this only be a 3% beer so probably not worth drinking?
2. Is there any way I can at least use this almost as a starter so i don't waste the money on yeast.
3. If I can whats the best method; try to top crop if it even reaches a high Krausen or let it go and ferment for a few days than rack the beer off the yeast cake and pitch fresh beer on.
I ask because I have a very limited amount of yeast and more grain and hops than anything else. I also cant get any more yeast (in the middle of south America all I have is what I brought).
