I'm making a batch of hard cider.
I used white labs liquid Chardonnay yeast.
Juiced my own apples and cooked them for 45 min to pasteurize the cider.



After pitching yeast, I stored my carboy in my closet over night the temp might have reached 65f. Now nothing is happening in my airlock. What should i do?
 
RDWHAHB,

As long as you did not pitch it when it was too warm, it will kick in when it gets around 70 for a while.
 
I wouldn't have cooked them. Traditionally you add sulfites to the must if you don't want the natural yeast to take hold.
