Hi guys... second time brewer, first time poster.
I took my yeast out of the fridge for about 8 hours, and then put it BACK into the fridge when I realized I would not get to it. I took it out again the next afternoon, and let it warm for a few hours before pitching. Could the warming/cooling/warming have killed it?
Here's the full story:
I brewed an extract batch over the weekend. I wasn't able to get the batch to cool down enough to pitch (plus, the wife was complaining about the mess), so I moved it to the primary fermenter, and put it in my freezer (temperature controlled at about 58-ish degrees).
The next afternoon, I finally got around to pitching my yeast. Now, about 12 hours later, I don't see any activity.
Should I get another tube of yeast, and try another round?
NOTE: I'm using WLP810, San Francisco Lager (hence, the colder temp for fermentation)
