I have to wait 28 hours to pitch the yeast. Will my beer be OK?

[Beerbeque]

I just racked my wort (Porter) to fermenter and I realize I have no yeast. Nada. The soonest I can get yeast is tomorrow and it will be 28 hours till I can finally pitch the yeast. Although the fermenter will be kept at ~70f I'm worried my beer will be ruined. What do you guys think?

Close it up tight and you should be good

Not a problem at all.I never pitch till the next day when the wort naturally drops to pitch temp..Look up "no chill" brewing.

If you're sanitary, no need to worry.
Same thing happens at most "wort provided" contests.

Whew! Thanks guys for the reassurance. Ill relax now.

We're all gonna die!

But not because of this. You're good.
