Ok so I have heard if you under pitch it can lead to some off flavors while the yeast is trying to catch up with your beer and the process can take a lot longer. I brewed a belgian wit this weekend using white labs 410 belgian wit ale II seasonal yeast strain. It says it takes a while to start and I didnt have time to give it a big head start do I pitched it in a mason jar with some extract about 8 hours prior to adding to the wort. 8 hours after that my 6 1/2 gallon carboy was over flowing. I noticed it was getting close so I put a peice of tubing in the stopper and the other end in a bowl submerged in water. About a day and a half later it seems to have almost stopped. I haven't checked the sg on it yet but there is not much happening. Could it effect the beer in a negative way?
