ale pale sticker themomator reads 90 degrees did i already kill the yeast

I doubt it. Yeast are pretty rugged little creatures. Did you check the temperature of the wort before you pitched? You should pitch your yeast when the temps are below 80F. The closer to your fermentation temp, the better.

the wife and i brewed this together.i belive the wort was at 70 degrees when we added the yeast.

after a few days and it does not ferment i could just add more yeast right or just check the gravity again.

Your yeast should be fine just try to kep the fermentor down around 70f or under while fermenting - or you will be in hangover heaven

 

[bull shark of beer]

the temp went down to 80 degrees

Keep working and try to get the beer down to 70. Otherwise you're going to have some off banana smells and it's going to have a lot of headache causing alcohols...
