Default Brewing postponed, what about yeast?

I smacked my pack on Monday night, planning to brew last night. Well, looks like that's been postponed for another 4-5 days. So, I put the pack in the fridge last night. Think it'll be fine next week, or should I plan on getting another bunch of yeasties?

It should be fine for a week. If in doubt, make a starter about 36 hours before brewing and pitch the whole thing in your wort.

I make at least a 1000ml starter for all my beers anyway.

I'd just make a starter with it, let that go for a couple days then put it in the fridge 24 hours before brew time.

Make a starter and you'll be fine.

Sounds good, but make sure to make a starter.

Man, I got a good chuckle out of that.
