I did a Ballast Point Amber Ale last night and when i was ready to pitch the wort was about 65... In a effort to keep temps down i placed my carboy into the swamp cooler and placed a frozen jug in the cooler. this morning the swap cooler was reading in the hi 50's.. So being concerned and wanting the best for my yeasts i pulled the carboy from the cooler and its now sitting on my basement floor.. Ambient temp is saying 65-67 .. Did i cold shock my yeast? will they wake up? I used dennys fav, no starter, and pitched at around 9. any advice would help..
Pitched cold?

Your yeast will be fine.

Yup you will be fine. Do nothing. I would put it back in the water with no ice after it warms a bit and watch it for a few days but other than that your good to go.

Shouldn't hurt your beer at all. Much better than missing high.
