Hi all , Ive just made a booboo and pitched my Nottingham yeast at 34c , is there anything I can do or will the yeast survive ?
Help Just Pitched My Yeast at 34c

Leave it overnight at fermentation temperature.
If the yeast has survived then you will get the normal "glub - glub" from the air-lock by this time tomorrow; but you may also get some "off-tastes" (e.g. grapefruit) with the finished brew.
If it hasn't survived then I suggest that you just re-pitch with another packet of yeast tomorrow night.
Either way:

Either way:
- Relax. It may still come good.
- Learn from the experience. Especially learn that "Life" is a great teacher; but unfortunately, it quite often gives you the "Test" first and the "Lesson" afterwards.

Thanks and yes its bubbling away like a good one.
Time for new glasses or a thermometer with big numbers lol.
Its rehydraytion temp so it shouldn;t kill it temp wise but if you haent get it down to 20ºc asap

Agree with Covrich, with the addition that if it stays there too long you may discover what Nottingham yeast tastes like when it's not been neutral, as in the esters it can produce if warm enough. lol
It may already have done this, but still doesn't mean it's going to be bad. Plenty of yeasts are all about the esters, eg. Liberty Bell with it's fruity esters.

I guess there's a fine line to walk. Leave it too warm for too long and you'll get loads of esters, cooling to 20c too quickly could stress the yeast further, causing off flavours or fermentation issues.

Let it cool naturally over 24 hours and see what happens.
Worst case is it's not great. Let your mates drink it after theyve had a few lagers at your next BBQ. They'll never know the difference after bleaching their taste buds with a few Stella...
