Fermentation´s first day at 50° is yeast dead?

[Todes]

Hello, I forgot to change the temperature setting on the controller yesterday. And today when I remembered the reading was on 50° F. Do you think the yeast could be alive and working when it gets to 68° ?

The yeast will be fine. Bump it up to 68 in stages, 5 degrees every 8-12 hours or so, and they'll wake up.

I store my liquid yeast in the refrigerator at about 40 degrees. If this was detrimental to yeast, they'd never wake up.

yeast ,when it is under its working range just goes dormant so long as it doesnt freeze. Once the temp gets back to working range ,it'll pick back up.
