Just a small worry.
I got a smack pack of 1056 shipped to me a few weeks ago, when it arrived, it was already swollen fully. I assumed the inner bag popped and my yeast was good to go. However, on brew day at pitching time, i opened it to find a thick chunky mess in the packet, with the inner bubble un popped. I popped it and tried to mix (hard to shake it up when its cut open!) and proceeded to pitch.
Smelled ok...
What do yall think? High shipping temps ramping up the yeast? Off flavor production in my beer?
