When I pitched my yeast last night the wort was a little in the hot side (85 degrees). If there is no activity what are the thoughts on pitching again (the wort is at a constant 68 degrees now). It was a London Ale slap pack.
 
I'll be at 24 hours this afternoon. When I have used slap packs in the past I have had activity within 12 hours...so that is my only concern.
 
85 is hot, but not hot enough to kill off the yeast. You should be ok. They are probably just shocked a bit and off to a slow start. Give it another day and see what happens. If your using those smack packs, start making starters prior to brewing. It will make things a whole lot better for your fermentation.
