Finally able to squeeze in a brew day yesterday. Made a wheat that I meant to make a month ago. When I ordered the Wyeast smack pack it was pretty blown up when I received it. I put it on the refrigerator, that was about 2 months ago. Pulled it out yesterday morning and felt all around and thought the inner pack had been popped. Throughout the day it expanded some, but didn’t really blow up. I didn’t have time to make a starter, so when I went to add it to the wort, I saw the inner pack had not been popped. I didn’t know what to do at that point and popped the bag and added it to the fermenter. Now 24 hours later there is no activity at all. I’m thinking there won’t be as the OG was at 1.060, and I’m afraid it won’t get started.
I have Safe ale 04, some London fog and red star wine yeast, and Nottingham here. Would any of those be any kind of replacement for the kolsh yeast that isn’t working?
