Hello all! Noobie here. I've just finished getting my 2nd batch ever into my primary, and have corrected a lot of the mistakes I made the first time around. However, I'm afraid I might have killed or damaged my yeast. After I got my wort into the primary bucket, I added the cold water and I got a false temperature reading of 67 degrees farenheit, so I pitched my yeast (dry ale yeast, without a starter). 6 hours later, I checked the bucket again, and the thermometer says the bucket is 79 degrees. I know this isn't a really high temperature, but it's not in the range it should be for ale yeast. Have I done any damage? What should I do?
Thanks in advance!
