well, i live outside of philly and we managed to get 12 inches of snow in october. our power was out for 4 days and i'm worried about my frozen yeast bank that took 2 years to build up. i burried all of the vials outside in a pile of snow and dug them up as soon as the power came back on and got them back in the freezer, so i don't think they warmed up to much. they definitely didn't stay frozen solid though. anybody ever have this happen? can somebody explain why freezing/thawing/freezing yeast has detrimental effects on the cells? any advice is appreciated.
thanks in advance
