Frozen Wyeast: Do We Have a Problem???

[hiphops]

I accidently hit the temp. rating too low on my fridge causing many things to freeze, such as my Wyeast 1214 Belgian Abbey. Is this gonna be a problem?

You may have killed it, the issue is that ice crystals break the cell wall.

Some of the yeast may have frozen in a way that didn't compromise the cell so it is worth making a starter and seeing if you can get it to ferment though.

If so you can just cold crash it, remove some of the liquid and store it in a sterilized mason jar for months.
