Re-hydrate one and sprinkle the other. One of 'em will get to work.

It looks like an embryo. Drain the liquid and the embryo. Hopefully the yeast is okay. If that is all I had, I would use it and hope for the best. Good luck.

But they look so scientific.

So you don't have to pay extra for the ice pack and possibly higher shipping costs? Hmmm.

Why is it in a third fermentor and not a bottle?

I bottle anything at or below 1.020. Go for it!

I don't even boil my jars. I just fill them with Starsan solution, give 'em a shake, dump and then pour in the yeast. Saves even more time.

Rack under it an enjoy!

It just gets creamy. No foaming action unless you are given them sugars.

For the first five days I would expect air to be moving out of the fermenter. You should be fine.

If you make a starter, you will know weather the yeast is active.

Every bottle will have a yeast cake. That is bottle conditioning. Now, how big is your bottle and how thick is the cake? Also, pour your beer gently from the bottle into a glass. Leave the last 1/2" of beer and yeast in the bottle.

I don't know what is on top. Foam? How long has it been sitting? Beer Yeast

"properly re-hydrated"? Why did you re-hydrate? Unnecessary? Possibly a problem there?

I would ferment for two weeks, then dry hop for a week. 2oz will be fine.

I thought AB was just Safale-04. Why go through the trouble?

I use a refractometer to make sure I get the beer where I want in the beginning. I don't check final. After 3 weeks it better be ready to bottle. Terrible practice? Probably, but I haven't had any problems in two years.

Unless I am doing a lager, I start at 62' and end at 62'

The first week is crazy, but give it a couple more weeks to clean up slowly.

Damn the effort. Just sprinkle it on top. It will go to work.
