fuck it, use first pic filename as a reference. I'm not dicking about with 45 captchas for a 45 page excerpt. have six books instead with lots of good information.

Hey guys /firstbrew/ here. so i just pitched my first batch of mead and i fucked up. I got excited and pitched the yeast straight out of the fridge into room temperature must. I know it probably won't start bubbling for 3 days or so, but what are the odds i killed the yeasties? Wyeast smackpack "dry mead" 4632 packaged 20nov18 is what I'm using.
I misread something on the internet and tossed it back into the fridge after popping the nutrient pack, spent all day at work thinking about my brew, came home sanitized everything made must pitched yeast hit internet and panicked. What do, anons? How bad is it? I did pitch the entire pack (6gal worth) into a one gallon batch, so that at least stacks the odds in my favor.
There's exactly 3 lbs honey in the must, along with a pinch of wyeast beer yeast nutrient. I intend to supplement with the remaining 2 lbs honey over the next four days (musted, pinch o nutes each time). According to the calculator i found online, I'll need 4.52 pounds of honey to reach the advertised 18% abv mark and I'm aiming for a sweet mead. Sorry for tilted pic.
