Hi all,
I am experimenting with a wherry kit and safale 05 yeast (as per previous post). i usually pitch dry yeast but thought id rehydrate to be flash! Problem is i didnt check temp of water. My brew is very slow to get going (put it on at 8pm last night and at 9am this morning only occasional bubbles from airlock) I dont think the temp of yeast hydrating water was above 28c but that is outside the yeast fermentation range. is there any risk that ive killed it??? my brew is thermostatically controlled at around 18c. Any ideas? Having not used this yeast before I dont know if it takes a while to get going at that temp. Cheers for any help!!
