I am new to brewing as this is my first batch. I am brewing an American Ale. I boiled the wort on friday, cooled it down, and pitched 2 packets of dry yeast at around 76 degrees. The OG was 1.058.
I began seeing airlock activity after about 8 hours, and saturday morning it was bubbles pretty frequently. It was late sunday when I noticed that I pretty much stopped bubbling completely. We have experienced a heat wave over the last few days, 90-100 degrees. I managed to keep the temp of the brew at around 76 in a closet of my apartment, but I am not sure how hot it might have gotten while I was at work and such during the day.
I am worried that maybe the hot temperatures have killed my yeast because there was only a day and a half to two days of visible activity. Is there reason to worry? Should I repitch some yeast?
Thanks.
