Spilled my yeast

    I accidently knocked over my yeast today while it was rehydrating.
    I was just about to add it to a stout brew, there was about 10mls left of the yeast so I added it anyway.

    Will the yeast reproduce sufficently so the fermention will go ahead or what should I do?

    I dont want to pour the wort out as it cost me about €20 to make!

    Should be OK, you could have poured a little of the wort into the 10ml which would in effect be another starter. If you dump a small bit of yeast in a large brew it can get "lost". If you add a small bit of wort to the yeast it is strong and can develop faster.

    If the wort was up to temp and aerated well it should be fine.
