Fermenting at high temperatures is IMHO the bigest problem for new brewers. The bugs can get going before the yeast does and once that happens "Game over". If you re-use that yeast then you doom the next beer too. It is only a couple of dollars for new dried yeast and temperature control is a must. Use a water bath in an ice cube (brand) name cooler. Yooper has a nice setup.
another idea: here

I'm usually pretty good about monitoring the temperature in my basement and putting it in a swamp cooler, but the weather caught me by surprise and we had a few days in the mid 80s in late September (rare for Minnesota).
Glad I dumped this yeast down the drain and got some new yeast this weekend. One bad part about filling your pipeline is that you won't know if the beer is good or bad for weeks or maybe even months.
