Rennet - sat at room temperature
(1/1)

Hi all! First time poster, long time lurker. Quick question for y'all.
I bought a small bottle of veal rennet last week. I know rennet is supposed to be stored in the fridge always. However, during my first make with this new rennet, I let the bottle sit out at room temperature for the duration of the make (about 5 hours), before noticing it and putting the bottle back in the fridge.
Is this duration of exposure to room temperature an issue? That is, should I expect a decrease in flocc power from this bottle of rennet? Or will one afternoon at room temperature have zero/minimal effect on the product? I'm just not sure how sensitive this stuff is to exposure.
Thanks!

Not that sensitive.
I usually pull all my stuff for a make out and let it set on the counter while I am working, helps me keep from forgetting to add stuff. Sometimes it doesn't get put away right away (absent mindedness). No loss of performance noted. I don't suspect its that hot in Montana this time of year either :)

Thanks!
Quick follow-up, I used the rennet yesterday and got flocculation at a normal time. Seems the rennet is just fine!
