Yeast left out

BrewDad · Feb 28, 2006

I accidently left my yeast out for a day after I had bought it. When I got home I should have put it back in the refrigerator but forgot. Is this going to afffect the yeast? I put it in as soon as I saw that I had left it out 18 hours later and do not plan on brewing until the end of the week.

Any ideas?

If you are brewing at the end of this week you should have it going in a starter about now.

Brewsmith · Feb 28, 2006

I agree. Make the starter now. If nothing happens, you still have time to get more yeast. My guess is that the yeast is still alive.

It is a irish 1084 Does that make a difference?

Nope. Make a starter. Today.

I agree. Make it now and don't worry. Refrigeration just keeps it in check until you are ready to let it rip.

It will be fine if you're just talking about it not being refridgerated for a bit. All that refridgeration does is slows the chemical processes of the yeasts, lowering their metabolisms so that they don't break down or eat/excrete themselves to death.
