Hello all, first time posting and first time brewing and go figure i messed up my first batch (IPA) ... i think.
my situation is the thermometer i was using to check the temp of the wort as it was cooling was apparently off by 20 degrees F. so because of this I added the yeast to my wort thinking it was at 70 F when it was really 90 F (found this out after deciding to take another temp reading with a second clean thermometer after adding said yeast). So of course i was worried i had killed the yeast after discovering this (as i really dont know what temps yeast can survive in). But i decided to let it sit a few days in hopes that maybe i it would be okay, and its now been three days and i havent had any bubbling in the airlock as i was told i should have.
So Have i royaly screwed up my first attempt at making beer or should i give it a few more days to see what happens? any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
