i'm planning on brewing an AHS Hopslam clone tomorrow and i made a 2.3L starter with WLP001. after 24hrs on the stir plate, i went to stick it in the freezer for a short time to get the yeast to drop out. well, i got distracted and had to hurry into work. about 6hrs later i remembered. it was pretty much frozen solid.
i've read that freezing only drops viability by about 10%, so it should still be good after it thaws out right? or will it be necessary to decant once thawed and make a new starter? i'm really pushed for time and i need to use this tomorrow (later today actually) if i can.
