I recently received a Wyeast Activator packet and the packet was swollen, but not as much as if the smack pack was activated. I immediately stuck it in the fridge. Is the yeast still good? The company responded by express shipping me another activator pack, but I figured maybe I could salvage the first packet. It is Pacman for a Dead Guy kit and I don't want to let it go to waste. How can I evaluate if the yeast is good? Make a starter from the first pack? And then save it for future brewing?
I want to give kudos to Mountain Homebrew and Supply for their prompt consideration.
PS: While on vacation in Colorado, I was able to sample a couple of bottles of DFH-120 and two of Pliny the Elder. PTE was great, but the DFH120 was incredible to my taste. Yes, Virginia, your son has become a hop-head, with no plans for rehabilitation. Also got to try some Strong IPA and Mirror Pond. Both good brews. However I had the DFH first so my palate was spoiled.
