wyeast smack pack early activation question.

[mattiemo]

i bought a beer kit form the brew store that i plan on brewing tomorrow. i activated the pack tonight (as advised buy the man at the shop) and it is like a balloon. is there a chance it will pop? should i put it in the fridge or lust leave it?
thanks.

I wouldn't worry if I were you. I've had smack packs that were so swollen they had no give to them at all. Never had one pop, nor have I read about one popping in all the threads I've seen.

I have a buddy that once had a smack pack that did explode on him, but that is the exception. Other than his mishap, I have never heard of it happening. You'll be fine.

good to here. i put it in a sealed container to prevent a mess.
appreciate the responses
Thanks
