Aug 21 I smacked a pack of Wyeast 1945 NB Neo Britannica
Aug 23 I put 1300ml of water and 1 cup of DME that I boiled and cooled with the yeast and plugged it with the foam plug then put it in a dark place.
(I dont have a stir plate but I will have one tomorrow.)
I was planning on brewing Aug 27 but I didn't (got scared of starting my first partial mash brew with the time I had available)
I plan on brewing tomorrow, Thursday or Saturday.
What I need to know is:
A. Did I ruin this yeast and is it now inviable for my Oat Meal Stout OG 1.049
B. Should I order a new smack pack and start over once I get my stirplate
C. Should I pour off the starter beer and add some more dme and water to this yeast?
D. None of the above(add your own advice, it's happily accepted!)
Thanks in advance!

P.S. this will be my second brew, be gentile![Mug :mug: :mug:](https://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/smilies/sdrinking-100-154.gif)
