Wyeast Question

tjstromquist · Nov 12, 2006

Brewing the St. Paul Porter from Northern Brewer. I smacked the Wyeast pack a little hard and broke open the package and lost some of the yeast (not a lot maybe a few teaspoons). Is this going to cause problems when I pitch it?

Holy $%*^ how hard did you smack it?!

Nahhhh, make a starter for it. You should be ok.

Obviously a little too hard...how do I make a starter out of it?

How long has it been sitting open? I'd be kind of concerned about contamination myself.
