I just realized that my kit says you need to break the liquid packet's internal chamber to mix the yeast with the nutrient solution a day before you brew, should I just go ahead and add the packet or leave my wert in the primary with the airlock on to give the yeast a day or two so it can activate? The instructions say to not use the packet before it's inflated to at least an inch and a half.
If my yeast packet doesn't swell then do you guys think my wert would be alright sitting in the fermenter for a couple days till I can get another yeast packet?
SO to condense my questions down: How long can wert sit in the primary before pitching yeast?
This is my yeast:
WYEAST labs.
3056 BAVRN W BL
mfg date is 24 feb 2010
and it's been in the fridge since I got it from william's brewing a month ago
