Hey all,
Just received a pack of Wyeast 1450 Denny's fav 50 (first time using smack pack), and it's already pretty bloated. Are these supposed to come flat? If I smack this one hard enough, I'm thinking it will pop.
Can anybody who's used these give me some insight as to if it's already been shook enough during shipping that I should just make a starter with it instead? Or should I be fine if I just keep it in the fridge, then shake it good and plenty on brew day? I've got a separate tube of nutrient, if that will help things down the road.
Thanks in advance.
