Stir?

Boil a little bit of yeast nutrient and throw that in?

If you have lemon juice that is a suitable alternative.

You're in Galway, right?
HBW are between the Tuam and Headford road aren't they?

Another option is to crush some raisins and put them in some boiling water to sanitise them. Wont be as good as citric acid/lemon juice but the yeast will still go nuts for it.

Any Pub that serves Jinnuntonix will have a lemon.

Ok will get a lemon tomorrow, how much juice do I need to add

Was half expecting for someone to offer some yeast  ffs. But when life hands you lemons

Vitamin C and a gentle stir might be enough to resurrect it.
What do you mean by 15-20? Temp? What brew have you on? What sort of yeast do you need?
I could post yeast, but it would not be with you until Wednesday earliest.

Covey

It's a  pilsner kit wit an ale yeast AFAIK that's 15_20
