I was hoping to brew a Czech Pilsner tomorrow and in preparation I have made up a yeast starter that's been fermenting away on my stir plate in the fridge for the last few days at 12 degrees.
I have dislodged the temp sensor so that it was sitting outside the fridge and thus caused the heating element to be switched on.
Taking a quick temp reading the starter is now sitting at 21 degrees and i'm trying to cool it down to pitching temp ready for tomorrow.
Will the rise in temp cause any harm to the yeast?
Am i better of scrapping the starter and ordering fresh yeast and postponing the brewday tomorrow?
