Ok so total newb here. About to do the first batch today.
Went down to my basement and got the extract kits. Like a dummy I had no idea the yeast needed to be refrigerated - doh. Honestly I never really thought about it and it was never indicated on the larger packaging - just the little vial and the smack pack.
Anyways it's been in my basement for probably about a month. No sun light- but the temperature has probably been between 60-65f.
Is it worth even trying to make these batches?
I had planned to make a starter last night for both batches - unfortuntely my new puppy decided he needed an emergency trip to the vet last night so I wasn't able to do that. I just broke the smack pack now (8am) and we hope to start brewing at 10am.
What do you suggest?
FYI - there is no local store in my area - I have searched and searched.
FYI2- both extract kits were purchased from AHBS
