I bought my malts, yeast (Wyeast 1098), and hops for a beer about 3 weeks ago. the only problem is I didn’t put the Yeast and the Hops in to the fridge and they were at about 60 F to 64 F for all that time. Do you think I should run get replacements for them. I am afraid the yeast especially and the hops wont be good.
The hops could be OK. Open them and see if they smell cheesy. If not, they’re probably good. Yeast, hard to say…I’d make a starter and see what happens.
Since it is Wyeast, why not try smacking the pack? You can still make a starter that way…
Agreed. Hops if vacuum sealed you’re most likely fine. If you are worth the wait on your brew day, get a good starter going to check your viability. However I would not shock your yeast. Make a small starter .25L and work your way up. JMHO
