I used a Wyeast smack pack for my last brew (my first time with a liquid yeast) and am planning on using one for the next.
I was wondering though, am I suppose to leave the pack on the counter and warm to roo temp before I break open the internal pack. If you are, then how long can it sit at room temp? Should I set it out the day before I need it so it can warm up? I didn't do that with my last one and the bag never puffed up and it took about 2 1/2 days for the fermentation to really kick in.
Also how long can it sit after you smack it before you add it to the wort. It said on the pack that it takes up to 3 hours to expand but can it sit out longer than that?
