Hi!
So last week i was preparing my brew day and I took out a certain quantity of my stored Dry Yeast slurry (S-04) in mason jars to let it warm up (in a small container, with sanitized foil on top). Long story short, I ended up not brewing on that day but still let the slurry at room temp for 24 hours.

The day after, when I realised it was still out of the fridge, i put it back in the fridge. A week later, I am now ready to brew and use it.

Is this slurry still good for me to use or should I simply go get another part that is still in my stored mason jar?
 
I confirm, fermentation started about 24hours after the introduction of the slurry. Thanks
 
I once brewed with yeast that had dried to the bottom of a carboy for who knows how many months. Beer fermented strong and clean, came out great! I think you'll be fine :D
