It is possible to smack a Wyeast packet too hard. Learn from my noob mistake.

Oh, man. That's actually sort of funny because I'm brewing today (as we speak in fact), and my brother smacked the pack once, then again. Then after ten minutes started to worry and was going to do it again, and I told him to let it alone. We might have had the same problem.

Yeah, I pimp-slapped the hell out of it after I guess 1 too many RDWHAHBs. It caused a pinhole in 1 corner that started spurting during yeast wakeup. I pitched it anyway against my better judgement (I was double pitching a high OG brew). I figured there was enough pressure inside to keep the yeast from getting contaminated.
