Stunned yeast?

[Sploigy]

Hey everyone I did my first attempt at brewing there the other day, I went with woodfords wherry since I heard that was a nice simple kit, unfortunately I read the instructions wrong when rehydrating the yeast and ended up poping them into water that was about 60 degrees Celsius. I'm guessing this has stunned or killed the yeast, but just to be sure I went ahead and continued with the brew. Its now about 32 hours later and there's barely any sign of fermentation so I probally killed the yeast, I've ordered a new strain and a new kit which will arrive on Tuesday, so I'm wondering what I should do then, just bloom the new yeast and put them into the existing wort (which was made on Friday night) or should I start over again with a new kit? any advice would really help me out thanks

Yes I am afraid that at 60C you will have killed the yeast
As for what to do :hmm:
If it were me, I'd probably chuck another yeast into the made up kit for the hell of it, there is really nothing to lose but the cost of a pack of yeast. If everything was well sanitised and the lid was snapped onto the fermenting vessel it may well be ok :pray:
You will soon know if it has gone off from the look and smell :sick:

wow Incredibly the yeast actually started fermenting a few days ago! I guess its because when i realised my mistake i freaked and started pouring water into the Fv as fast as possible so maybe some of the little buggers survived hehe :thumb:. Anyways the SG is down to about 3 bars above 0.01 so looks like things are shaping up well, I uploaded a photo of the FV, is this how things should be proceeding?

Hopefully everything will turn out good, I think ill leave the beer in the FV for 9 days just to ensure that the maximum amount of fermentation has taken place....

That looks like it's doing the trick, the brown scumline around the FV shows that you've had a 1"-1.5" yeast head so I think you could be OK :thumb:
