So long story short I had my wyeast in the freezer.....after it had been activated/smacked. I was going to have it in there just a short while and forgot. Left it in over night. Very frozen today. When it defrosts will it still be good?
 
If the wyeast packs have swollen back up over the day as it defrosted and when I shake them I hear the little yeasties bubbling do you think its ok?

I don't know. I wouldn't bet on it. You may have lost many of the cells. You'd probably have to make a starter to ensure viability.
