so i got a liquid yeast pack for a brown ale kit i started and it was a wyeast 'smack' pack, where you break the pouch inside to release the activator.
well anyways i went to activate the yeast and i broke the package open when i 'smacked' it like it said. i lost a little bit of liquid from the pouch, i paniced and dumped the remaining yeast and activator into a ziplock bag i sealed it and low and behold the yeast actually started doin its thing.
i let it activate for about 2 hours and pitched it into my primary with the brew.
afterwards i now have 2 concerns.
#1. the ziplock bag wasnt sterlized when i poured the yeast in
#2. i lost a decent amount of liquid when the package popped
less than 24 hours later i have great action on the airlock
should i be worried about having a bad batch of beer on my hands?
