Made mistake! Need help

Hi guys. I decided to brew a batch a beer 4 hours before i had to go to work yesterday so i was rushing through my entire process.

Long story short, every thing went great...until i forgot to
Change my fermentation chamber temp controller setting from 38* (the temp i use to keep beers in between brew days) to 68 before I left for my 24 hour shift.

Basically have my yeast have been freezing or have frozen to..? Hibernation, death? I just now opened up my ferm chamber and changed it to the proper setting. Should i repitch? I have more of the same yeast on hand so that would not be a problem. Or should i just let em warm up a bit and all will be OK?

Thanks for any tips or advice in advance.

Cheers

Just let it warm up to fermenting temperature and it'll be fine. No need to repitch, all of the yeast are still in there. The cold temps won't kill them. Maybe swirl it up again after it warms up.

No worries, +1 on warming and swirling.

 

Yeast will stay alive well below freezing temps as long as the medium (in this case the beer) hasn't frozen.
