Temp before my yeast die...

[dukesbb37]

So i bottled a raspberry hefe last night, and while i was at work today it finally got hot... And the thermostat in my apartment was still set to "heat" so it never clicked on when the temp rose above 70...

Basically i got home to a sauna of an apartment at a whopping 82 degrees.

I know the yeast arn't too happy above 70ish... and I guess my question is... did i just nuke my yeast? I cant really re-pitch because they're in bottles.

Death temps are around 130-140. You are good to go.

Yeast are happiest between 85 and 100. It's like spring break on Clearwater Beach for them. But they get pretty sweaty having all that fun, and the B.O. can be bad.

Below 70, they aren't as stinky.
