Left in Fermenter?

[Brewfawx]

So I was brewing a Walnut Vanilla Amber, and after pouring my wort into my carboy, a family emergency came up, and i was unable to pitch the yeast for about a week. the fermenter had a blowoff tube attached, and was undisturbed during that time. Is it too late or unsafe to pitch the yeast? Will my beer still work?

Pitch an active starter and see what happens. The cost of the yeast is less than the cost of the ingredients. At the worst bacteria will out grow the activity of the yeast.

I’m betting you’ll be good.
