You threw it away?!? If you LHBS carries you yeast then why would you mail order it? Cost can't be a concern since you threw it away and bought more. Midwest has been a great supplier so far for me. Then again, I read the information before clicking the order button.
those cold packs are useless. they don't magically lower the temperature of all things around them. they are a thermal buffer, though. which means they'll also keep your yeast piping hot once they've warmed up.
purchasing yeast online in the summer months is problematic and should be avoided unless the transit time is very short. but even then, delivery trucks and warehouses heat up to over 100F.
the fact that you didn't is not midwest's fault, so you shouldn't slam them on a forum because you didn't order properly.
THe only reason why i didn't go to the guy in the first place is because he often doesn't have what I need. I'm trying to learn how this stuff works, and in five months of brewing and reading books, etc., the most obvious thing I've learned about this process is that it's a lot about the elimination of variables, so when I have a recipe to try, the last thing I want to do is show up and discover he doesn't have the yeast or the hops i specified, or he might have it this week and not next week etc.
I it's a deli/gas station/bait shop.
and FYI for everyone that has refered to Yooper like "Good on you man" like in post four. I am pretty sure Yooper is female.
Well, yes. But no one seems to mind anyway!

When you buy yeast on midwest it's right there on the yeast page under configure your product. I tried to add a smack-pack to my cart and it MADE me choose my options first..not sure what the difficulty is. I've had good luck with this company the handful of times I've used them.
It would have been cool to see if they started..
I'm loving all the attention this thread is getting! Lol
