Pitched too cold

[Wildcat_Brewing]

I brewed an IPA yesterday and pitched yeast but I messed up the setting on my temp controller. When I checked this morning it was 38 degrees instead of 65. I'm warming it back up, should I hit it with more o2 when up to temp or pitch more yeast, have some dry on hand? Thanks

once it's up to temp, pitching a starter from a dry yeast will get you going quickest. A straight pour from the packet will start in 24 hrs or so, or just patience and it'll get going in a day or two more. I'd give it a good shake when it's up to temp and be patient, but I'm a frugal curmudgeon.

The yeast is still alive, just sleeping. Once it gets to an appropriate temperature it will get going. Some careful agitation at that time might help it along but is not absolutely needed. (Yeast) Life will find a way!

Thanks guys for your input, it's bubbling away nicely

I've re-used stored ale - many times - and 34/70 yeast slurry that has been in a near zero fridge for over a month with no problems once the wort gets to room temps.
