So my wyeast smack pack arrived in the mail today inflated. The nutrient pack on the inside seemed to no be broken, but the whole packaged has swelled up. I was planning on brewing Thursday, am I screwed if I don't brew right away??
 
Put it in the fridge and take it out before you brew to warm up. it should be fine. Might not be able to break the nutrient pack since it is swelled but you shouldn't have any problems.
 
You're the second person who posted this problem today. Here's what I posted for them;

It's been known to happen. Sometimes the inner pack breaks in transit. All it means is that you don't need to worry about waiting for it to inflate before pitching it into your starter.
