I brewed a Honey Wheat extract kit from Austin Home Brew on Friday night. When I received the kit in the mail, I found the cold pack not cold at all and the yeast arrived at room temp. I've never had a problem with yeast before so I took the yeast out of the fridge 5 hours before I brewed and pitched at 70 degrees. I woke up this morning to find there still isn't any activity in the air lock. I assuming my yeast is dead. I'm willing to give it a few more days before I re-pitch the yeast. My main question is that do I have to do anything to my wort? Is this going to affect my beer since I pitched dead yeast?
