Brewing a blood orange IPA using bry-97. Rehydration is suppose to be between 86-95. I sprinkled at 90. Let sit for the required 15min. When I checked its temp it was down to 85. I stirred. Let sit for 5 minutes. Temp was at about 80 for wort and yeast. I pitched at about 78-80, due to being in a rush for something. It will be cooling to 70 overnihht and remain around there for fermentation.

My questions are:
Did I rehydrate at too low of a temp? What issues will this cause if any
Did I pitch at too high of a temp? Or will the cooling to 70 overnight be okay

This is my first non kit recipe so I'm over paranoid about it coming out good
 
Well turned out fine. OG - 1.062 SG when racking to secodnary on top of fruit was 1.012
