OK so I was stupid and accidentally put my WL029 in the freezer for about 2 days. Well I made a starter using lme and the gravity was a little high so I decanted off some of the wort and added tap water. Well now I don't know if it's actually working. I get a very light brown layer (about same color as was in the vial) on the bottom although there seems to be more than was in the vial.. I shake it every 2 hours when I can but the layer settles back quickly. After I shake up the bottle (using a well washed 2 liter coke bottle) I am getting the classic carbonated opening sound. Is my yeast dead or is this what it's supposed to do?
