Just curious...I've placed two orders in the last 45 days, both for a couple kits with a few misc items. It took about 10 days to recieve my first order (3-4 days processing & 6-7 days in transit) or close to it. It also took 2 weeks to recieve my second order (6-7 days processing & about 7 days in transit). I purchased the ice packs each time, but by the time I recieved each order, the ice was a melted warm liquid and the Wyeast packet was the same warm temp. Could the yeast be damaged or unusable?
I will definately be making a starter with them although one is a hefe yeast and wasn't going to, but I just want to be sure for future orders. I think Austin Homebrew Supply (plug for Forrest) is great and are top knotch, but if I am constantly wondering about the health of the $7 yeast packet after a long, hot trip in the big brown truck, should I just buy the dry yeast or travel the 45 minutes to my LHBS to buy Wyeast?
In no way am I knocking AHS, I think they are top knotch...just wondering everyone else's experience and if it is something to be concerned about...
