How long will it live outside of refridgeration. I took mine out on Thursday and going to pitch it today. Will it work? Thanks!

Should live at least a year so I think you should be OK.
Three words: make a starter
It's the only way to know if those vials are viable, and something that should always be done when using liquid yeast cultures.
(also, be careful when opening that warm vial, if the warmth woke the yeast up (which it did), they'll be very active and ready to "jump" out of that vial. open slowly)

Tks. The open slowly advice was a good one. Unfortunately, i missed the starter advice before i pitched it. The ahs instructions said to just shake and pitch it when at room temp. If it doesnt work in a day or so, can i just buy the same yeast and pitch it without any problems?
The starter advice is very helpful. I would have missed that too had I not come across this thread.

My beer was at 1.044 gravity when I pitched the yeast.
