Urgent help

I have just made a 7 day rose kit but got a bit Co fused and put the yeast into the hot mix of sugar and water before adding the cold water. Will this have killed the yeast? If so is there anything I can do to bring this back? Add another yeast packet?

The yeast is dead. RIP.
Let the mixture cool and pitch another yeast.
No harm done. The dead yeast will serve as nutrient for the new.

Thanks for that. I was going to ditch the whole brew but thought it was worth asking the question.

Are you saying that yeast have cannibalistic tendencies??? That's so gross.

It's a jungle in there.

Yes a new packet of yeast costing pennies from your homebrew shop will put things right.
note however you may not be able to get an "exact" replacement but in this case it should not matter.
Just get your new yeast in there as soon as you can.
