How long should I wait till I repitch my yeast.
The senario is as follows:
Yesterday I put everything into my fermenter and then pitched the yeast. I new that the temp was a little high but fearing bacteria getting into the wort I pitched the yeast at 28 degrees C. As expected nothing much was happening last night. At 7:30 thismorning while the temp was still cool I got my first bubbles through my air lock. 16 - 18 hours after pitching the yeast. Today has gotten really hot (43 degrees) so I checked on my fermenter and realized that the temp was up to 30 degrees. Not wanting it to get any hotter I put my fermenter in a bath full of cold water and lowered the temp to 22 - 24 degrees. The problem is I haven't had any bubble since. How do I get it going again or had I already killed my yeast before I cooled it. How long should I leave it before I repitch some yeast at the lower temp?
