Hi, I'm looking for a little advise on my NB Caribou Slobber extract kit and i'm afraid i made a mistake by tossing the danstar windsor ale dry yeast in the freezer for a few weeks till i got around to brewing it, well After i removed it from the freezer i read the package and it says to store at 41-50 degrees F.
"guess i should have read it before tossing in the freezer"
So, I decided to give it a whirl and brew it anyway, All went well without any problems and i pitched it with this yeast after thawing it out while brewing...
Well SG started at 1.052 as it should be and the next morning the brew was bubbling "although not as rapidly as most brews I've done" but then came to a stop by the following day.. So i took a reading and was at 1.020 then waited a couple days and checked again, Still at 1.020 "no change"
So, my question is , Could i have screwed up the yeast by freezing it? And if so should i consider repitching?
