Thanks Facinerous for the response! I almost dumped my dry yeast into the wort to be safe, but changed my mind. I will look into better straining methods! Twitter : @krullyness First batch of brew : Belgian witbier - August 15, 2014

I don't own one of those thief devices. Do you have a good way for getting a sample out of the carboy? Thank you for the input! Twitter : @krullyness First batch of brew : Belgian witbier - August 15, 2014

Don't like hearing that, I used liquid and I may have rushed the process. It said that the package needed 3 hours to bloat or be at 70-72 degrees. I took the package out and warmed it up in water till the bag bloated just a bit. I think the batch looks fine. The yeast was fairly active...
