I started a White Labs WLP001 starter yesterday at noon. Placed the Ehrlenmeyer flask on the stir plate and got the vortex moving.
This morning, absolutely no bubbling, no krausen... nothing. Dead flat liquid.
Last week, right after I purchased this yeast from my LHBS, I got a flat tire. Long story short, the jack broke (never thought that could happen!) and I spent about two hours on a hot back road in Connecticut.
Air temp was in the 80's and my yeast vial was sitting in a cardboard box in the back seat along with all my grains and DME. Had to bum a ride to a local gas station to borrow a jack.
No idea what the inside temp was, but I'm guessing about 95-100.
Is that enough exposure to kill a vial of WLP001?
