I made a starter last night, put it on the stirplate and went to bed. This morning I check it, and it is running at ~87F! Apparently this stirplate (borrowing from the lab) creates more heat than I thought.....
So, my question is, what do you guys think my yeast has been affected?
I places a pad (for handling pans and stuff) on the stirplate, and put the flask in a water bath....and then turned it back on. Once it cooled down, I repitched the 5 drops of yeast from the original vial. This is a WL cream ale (lager/ale mix), so hopefully I didn't kill all the lager yeast. Or, maybe the few drops I added this morning will be able to grow now.
Thanks for any advice,
