Did I pitch with the wash too hot/warm? If I killed this yeast, can it add more when it cools off more or do I have to throw the whole thing out and start over?
Any advise would greatly be appreciated.

Did I kill my yeast?
Ok, this is my very first wash. I did a brown sugar/honey wash. 2lb's of brown per gallon and a 1/3 cup of honey(rum recipe I found). This is my sacrificial run also. I got all the sugars dissolved alright, let it cool down to about 90 degrees, maybe 92. Then I pitched the yeast. I stirred it all up real good. Took another temp reading and it was just a hair over 90 degrees. I set the top with the bubbler and let it sit for about 10 minutes. It still hasnt started bubbling yet.
