WLP500 starter

[Dfitz]

I was making a starter for an upcoming brew and put the flask on the stir plate for a few hours. I covered it with a dish towel as the house was a bit chilly. Fell asleep and woke the next morning to find it at 82F. Whats the damage? Does this yeast have a maximum temp or is it still useable?

It will be just fine. You can push most Belgian yeast that high anyhow.

When I propagate yeast to put on slants, I let it sit in the fermentation chamber at 90F and the yeast loves it. Your starter will be fine.

Cool, thanks!
