Hey guys. so heres what happened. I ordered a Vanilla porter extract recipe kit from AHS but when my package arrived my white labs yeast vial and ice package were almost hot to the touch. i called AHS and they said it should be fine so i pitched it anyways. With 2 days of no activity i took a gravity reading and there was no change. this was a big problem seeing that im in Yuma, AZ and the closest brew store is 3 hours away. Luckily my sister was coming down from phoenix and brought me some Muntons dry. So when she arrived with the yeast my wort had been sitting for 5 days. when i opened the lid to pitch the yeast it looked foamy. i took a hydrometer reading and saw the the gravity had dropped from 1.07 to 1.06. i then pitched the yeast and sealed it up.
Some kind of infection wouldnt drop my gravity level would it?
possible that my original yeast still had a little bit of life?
