Hello and thanks for looking.
So, I am brewing an IPA. Unfortunately, my smack pack seemed to have gotten smashed in the fridge and popped at least a week before I pitched it. The Wyeast packet was still intact, but it was pretty obvious that the yeast bag inside had already been popped. The blow tube is bubbling like once every couple of seconds and pretty steady, but there it is definitely not the vigorous fermentation i have seen before. Should I pitch another pack of yeast? Wait and See? Anyone who has had experience with this or some input, I would appreciate it.
It has been about five days since I pitched it and it is still bubbling. About 3" of krausen on top, but nothing has come out of the blow tube like it usually does.
Help and advice appreciated.
Thanks.
