Does cold weather shipping effect kit?

[jacobi3232]

I ordered a Cooper's home microbrewing kit wich came with a Cooper's lager kit. I am about 40 hours into the fermentation and I'm not sure if anything is happening.
Since I live in Alaska, I was wondering if the cold weather could've effected the yeast or something during shipping from Kentucky to here?
I ordered it on Monday and received it on Friday morning and it has been in the teens during that time.

Time more than temperature effects dry yeast. Some of those coopers sachets are many years old by the time they're sold

So is there anything I can do to save the batch?

have you taken a gravity reading??? How do you know there's anyhting wrong?? Besides, as this sticky states, fermentation can take between 24 and 72 hours to start. And last I heard , 40 hours was about 32 hours less than 73.

most of my kits say refrigerate on them so I doubt the cold weather affects it unless you have already brewed the batch and it requires certain temps to ferment.

Yeah.....Let me google that for you, kinda jump the shark on here 2 years or so ago.

We pissed each other off with that for several months.
