Made a pale ale. With yeast starter pitched at 65 degrees. Was good for 2 days. The air temp in the house spiked over nice with hot weather coming fermented at 77 degrees for less than 24 hours. Brought to a cooler location finished out fermentation at 65 degrees. I know the up and down of the temp not good for overall taste and out come of beer but can I reuse the yeast in a bother batch. If I wash and make another starter out of it? Or was it too stressed from the high temps.

The yeast I used was white labs 001 cal ale.
 
Yeast should be fine I would think, as should the beer. Less than 24 hours should be safe as I have had beers go a couple days at 80 when my a/c went down.
