Hello, I made a mistake last night brewing a belgian Dubbel. I realized once I got my wort boiling that I had forgot to take my wyeast 1762 out of the fridge. I ran it under 85 degree water for 20-30 seconds to try to warm it up. After sitting for a few minutes it felt cooler than the water temp (so I know it didn't get heated over 85 degrees. I let it sit for 3 hrs then pitched it into the wort that had went into the primary for 2 hrs before. When pitched the packet had barely swelled. Will this yeast take off?
Another possible issue and just a general question is: I have had the pack for a while. Its manufacture date was april 13 (appx 4 months ago.) Is this too old to use?
