Hi guys i have 2 mason jars with yeast in fridge one lager s-23 and wheat wb-06 i accidentaly left my brew fridge open by an inch overnight and didn't sealed properly today morning i went to take out some stuff from fridge and caugth my atention that the wheat yeast jar was too cloudy as it has 4 months there and beer on top was very clear, taking a closer look watched both jars had the cap inflated so i took them out and opened too slowly and they released a little bit of co2, but suddenly the wheat yeast started activity like crazy moving to the top of beer, i saw big chunks of yeast and trub going up real fast!! This happened in about 5 minutes and now has stoped leaving a creamy and yeasty liquid in the mason, i opened the lid a bit to smell it and it has a zesty nice yeasty smell, the lager yeast mason showed no activity at all and it only has like 2 months old in fridge, what do you think? should i worry and throw away both masons? or everything is ok and just the change in temperature made the yeast wake up like crazy and everything just will be fine? I was planing on use both yeast in the next two brews so i maybe i have to consider buy a packet of fresh yeast?.
I'll put some pictures and thanks in advance
