So heres the deal, I did a specialty grain brew with LME and pellet hops. I brewed last night. I added the yeast packet(safale us-05 american ale) to warm water(75 degrees), stirred it in, added the sugar water at same temp to a large sanitized cup and covered. I let it sit there for 20 minutes and it did nothing. The last time I brewed(the first time), the yeast was almost instantly activated and working. I didn't know if I should add it or not but I did. That was around midnight last night. This morning, I got up for church and left around 9am and I checked the airlock before I left and it was doing nothing. So after church, I went to the brew store to get some more yeast. It was a different brew store because the one I go to is closed on sunday. They didn't have the same kind. So I got Wyeast activator smack pack of american ale yeast. I got home, smacked the pack before looking at the airlock. HUGE MISTAKE! The airlock was no active. The pack was already activated. I didnt want to waste my money and throw it out so after some contemplation, I added it to the wort. Do you think that was the right thing to do? Do you think it'll mess anything up? Any concerns you have about it? Thanks for your help. Sorry for the length.
