Hi All,
I'm in a bit of a panic over here. I brewed last night and I think I messed up the yeast rehydration. I misread the instructions and I boiled the water on the stove, removed it from the heat, added the yeast while it was really hot still and then moved to a measuring cup. After I moved it to the cup I reread the instructions and saw I was supposed to wait for it to coll before adding the yeast. I am worried that I killed it. I immediately tried to cool down the cup by putting it is cold water. Then once it was cooled I pitched it. This was 6pm last night. As of 2pm today I haven't seen any activity what so ever. I planned to just go get more yeast and re-pitch tomorrow if I don't see anything but the problem with that is that the beer store I use here in Charlotte is closed on Monday. Will Tuesday morning be too late to re-pitch? Can I go get like a mr beer kit and use that yeast? I don't want to lose the batch. There is no where that I can get yeast other then mr beer until Tuesday......thoughts???
