So I was getting ready to brew my Porter recipe this past Saturday and while I was working on my brew day schedule (yes I make notes for myself so I don't forget anything) I took my yeast out and smacked the pack. I had the brilliant idea of placing it on my external HD to get it warmed up a bit. Needless to say, I forgot to put into my notes "Don't leave the yeast on the HD you moron" and it got pretty hot. I took it off after about an hour and it was pretty warm, the package had swollen a bit but didn't anymore until I pitched it into 68 degree wort. 2 days later, no activity at all. I am certain that I killed the yeast, I ordered some today and it should arrive tomorrow.
Is wort sitting around 3 days going to be alright if you followed good sanitary procedure? I hope so because I am brewing this Porter up regardless, the wort tasted awesome and I think the beer will be great if it doesn't get infected. I don't see any signs of infection or anything, but just wondering what people think.
