For my latest brew I decided to go with Bee Cave Brewery's Bavarian Hefewezien. It will be the first time I've used a Wyeast smack pack, and I noticed when they showed up yesterday from BMW, one of the packs had gotten smacked and was swelling already.
How long do I have to use this yeast? I wasn't planning on making a starter (don't have the capability yet), and originally it was going to be ~2.5 weeks before I could brew. I can fast forward my brew day to Friday, but no sooner. Is that going to be good enough, do I need to figure out a way to do a starter (I only want to do this for this brew if it is absolutely necessary)?
