Fermentation temp fell very low, then rose again and yeast got busy again?

Is this bad?

The temp fell during then first days of fermentation and the yeast became much less active, very little to no activity.

I moved the carboy and when the temp rose, the yeast became very active again.

Am I doomed?

Yeasties are hearty little bastards, but they're fickle as hell when it comes to temperature. I wouldn't worry in your case-when temperatures drop, they tend to go into a dormant stage where they're simply not doing much of anything. Considering they woke up when the temperature increased, they'll just get back to their job like nice little minions should.

that's what I figured, I mean, they came refridgerated right?

Thanks

It's not ideal but you didn't harm the yeast.

At the most,you might have some slight off flavors. But for such a short time,that would be iffy...
