Unrefridgerated yeast

[JayMac]

Hey guys,

I was in Michigan when some new grains, hops and yeast arrived. I texted my friend to put the hops and yeast in the fridge. Guess what... He forgot my Irish yeast and centennial hops. Now I'm not worried about the hops, but 4 days of yeast at room temperature is scary. I was planning on using this yeast for my stalled stout, but now I think the yeast is useless. What do you think?

Now

What kind of yeast, liquid or dry?

It definitely won't be useless. Yeast can live at room temperature. As long as it didn't get above 90+ degrees you should be ok. I would make a pint (1000mL) starter and you should be good to go.
