Hello, I now realize that on my first batch of amber beer I pitched the yeast wrong. I added it straight to the boiling wort! Therefore killing the yeast, yes?

My question is, after unfermented beer sat in carboy for 30 hours, I then added new/fresh yeast and pitched it correctly on top, is this bad? Can I expect a spoiled batch or overwhelming yeasts.?
Thanks!
 
It will be fine go ahead and pitch. The yeast you boiled will just be food for the yeast. The little cannibals!
 
Hah well thank you! That takes some worry off of my head, I appreciate the quick response.
 
The most important thing now is to keep good fermenting temps. And BTW, welcome to HBT!
 
Alright, well thank you. Not to exceed 75 degrees Fahrenheit and not to go below 33, yes? Thanks! I'm very new/amateur to this, but VERY excited about homebrewing nonetheless. Thanks Dan.
