I have just prepared a Blackrock Whispering Wheat brew but when it came time to pitch the yeast the temp was about 30 deg. I tried to cool it down by putting the kit in cold water but I couldn't get it down. I remember reading somewhere that it is better to pitch the yeast in this situation because the longer you leave it without the lid on the more chance of contamination.
My question is, have I ruined the batch by pitching the yeast at this temp?
The closet where I store it is about 22 degrees which is ideal so will the fermentation kick in when the wort cools?
