I brewed my first batch last night and threw it in the primary around 2300 hours. I'm pretty sure I pitched the yeast when it was way too hot. Tried to cool it down as much as I could, but thought for some reason that it was more important to get it in there quick than get it in there cold. I'm guessing it was 95F-105F when I pitched and after having sat overnight I'm thinking its still in the 80Fs, because it only feels slightly warm but still not registering on the thermometer stuck to the side which only goes up to 78 I think.
Also, I have read when making an Amber Ale to stir and to NOT stir the yeast in. I thoroughly stirred it and it was pretty warm.
And this morning I noticed the water in the airlock had gone down by about half, which I guess means its in the wort.
