This is my 2nd brew I'm making, the first one went well. Basically, I smacked the wyeast smakpack and nothing happened for a day. Then at the end of the day I put it on top of my bunn coffee pot which stays warm and the next morning the pack expanded as far as it could go. Well I had to go to work that morning for 24 hrs (I'm a firefighter) so I couldn't use it until the following day. It's now been 48 hrs and nothing is going on in the carboy or the airlock.
I'm wondering if the yeast was still good since it sat for 2 days after pack expanded and the expiration date was 6 months ago. I read in other forums that people had used past expiration and it was fine for them, so I tried.
I'm wondering if I can get another smackpack and add it in the carboy? Would that hurt anything or is there something else you guys recommend?
Thanks
