I brewed a batch of @Denny rye smile IPA today. Brew day went really smooth and the hydrometer sample tastes amazing. I brought the wort down to about 80* with my chiller and then dropped the fermenter into an ice water bath to take it the rest of the way to pitch temp (63*). Well life happened and I left it in the ice bath too long. I checked a few minutes ago and it was just above 57*. I have pulled it out of the ice bath, my question is how cold is too cold to pitch the 1450? Wyeast website says it will work between 60* -70*. My plan is to let it sit at room temp (74*) for a few hours till I'm ready to go to bed, but do I pitch then or wait until the morning and take my chances with something unwanted taking hold before I get my yeast in there?
TIA.
