i had some yeast slurry that i saved from my last batch. just a couple days ago. and i decided to put some of that in to hopefully speed things up. now i just hope for no off flavors from the slurry.. :smack:
well i am close to finish boil and i am doing 10 gallons so i do have two packets. one did not open on me .. and is looking like a mini football and the other well nothing because i somehow burst the bottom corner .. i hope it works
for some reason i let my LHBS talk me into getting a smack pack. and well i did the shake and located the pocket and well i guess i smack the pack to hard and it the packed opened up.. am i ok with still pitching this in 3 hrs?
