This is my first attempt at making beer, and I made my first mistake already
I pitched my yeast when the wort was between 110º and 120º. Dumb. I know. I now know it has to be around 70º - 80º.
It's been about 8 hours and there is no activity in the fermentor yet. Did I kill the yeast? If so, can I just add another packet now that the temperature has come down? Should I just dump it and start over?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
