I've been brewing forever (decades) and never had this issue. I'm doing a Belgian Tripel tomorrow and made my starter this morning. I smacked my Wyeast 3787 yeast pack this morning and nothing seems to be happening. The pack is not swelling after 9+ hours. My LHBS is usually very good and keep their yeasts refrigerated. I've never done a Tripel before or used this yeast.
So, do I add the yeast to my starter even though it hasn't swelled? Is this yeast bad?
I'm tempted to not brew tomorrow unless this yeast gets going. Thoughts?
