Is this yeast dead?
I smacked the pack on Tuesday, by Thursday it really hadn't swelled.
Thursday evening I went ahead and pitched it into a 500ml starter, and add a little more wort Friday evening. It's been right about 70-72F since I got it out of the refrigerator. And so far there has been no activity, it's all just sitting at the bottom of the flask.
It's an ale yeast and the production date on the pack was 9/4/7. I got it at the end of October and it's been in the fridge since then.
