AC Broke-Starter Got a Little Warm

[mjs483]

I made a starter yesterday and had my apartment's AC at ~70F. This morning I woke up to find that my AC had stopped working and my apartment's temperature had risen to about 75-76F.

Do you think my starter is still ok to use? I'm planning on fermenting my batch at 69-70F. I was planning on dumping the entire starter into the fermenter about 24 hours after making it. Would putting it in the fridge for a day and dumping off most of the liquid help clean up any problems?

UPDATE: AC Still broken and started to get up above 80 in here. I had a wet t-shirt over the starter but I decided it was time to put the starter in the fridge. I'm not sure if it was completely done fermenting but I had a decent yeast layer on the bottom of the flask.

Again...any thoughts on whether or not this yeast is still healthy enough and acclimated properly to pitch into wort?

You can do starters higher than normal beer fermenting. I would take a smell test before final usage though to make sure it is kosher.
