White labs slushy!!

[MichaelSterling]

So I bought a vile of white labs yeast and put it in the fridge. Well it seem that it was sitting a little to far in the back and got a little cold. I pulled the vile out and it was like a slushy. Is it all over? Is there still hope for this yeast?

Make a starter and find out.

Use some DME and make 1 Liter of a 1.040 wort and throw your yeast in there. Do this the day before you brew or a few hours before. If the starter begins fermenting then the yeast are fine and viable.

This is the first thing I thought about doing. I'm just hoping that it works. Stuff is not cheep.
