I just used a Smack Pack for the first time yesterday. It took me four tries smacking it to get it to go.
I'm impressed!

How soon do I have to pitch once activated? Does it have to be pitched within 3, 12, 24, 48, et al hours?

Within 24 hours would be ideal. You should be making a starter
Yeah I thought about it but didn't have any DME and wanted to brew tonight. But ended up dozing off earlier and now I'm against the clock, so I don't know if I want to just wait until tomorrow.

The good news is I don't think I activated the pack. I hit it at 3 and again at 5 and I don't notice much swelling. Not sure if I like these activators or not...
EDIT: Per another thread it appears in order to swell it needs to be outside and not back in the fridge. Rookie mistake!
