Slap Pack Left Out

[alaskajoe]

I have a Wyeast slap pack, and I slapped it to begin the package swelling on Friday in the late afternoon. I intended to brew on Saturday, then something came up and I didn't. I forgot to refrigerate it again. It's now Sunday evening, and I plan to brew tonight, but the slap pack has been activated now for about 2 days unrefrigerated. Will it still work or is it toast?

It'll be fine.

for how long?

I don't really know for how long. Probably not more than 3-4 months at room temperature, but I assume the yeast would be less vigorous than if fresher.
