Wyeast 2633 WTF?

I picked up a AHS oktoberfest kit with wyeast 2633. The kit arrived on one of the hottest days of the summer and sat on my porch for I don't know how long. I brewed everything that day on 7-21-2010. I popped the yeast pack and waited for three hours and got nothing no Co2. I figured I would pitch it anyway. As of 7/25 I had no airlock activity. So i went to a LHBS they suggested I double pitch WL octoberfest problem is when I got home the airlock was bubbling, and the temp inside the fridge was up to around 60. I'm dropping the temp now. Am I screwed with this batch with off flavors?

No. You'll be fine. Just drop the temp to around 50-55 for the remainder of fermentation.

the OG was around 1.064.

maybe leave it a little longer in the primary to work out any diacetyl or off flavors which may have been generated

how much longer?

An extra month should do the trick. And you'll definitely want to do a D-rest for a few days at 70+F.
