Hi,
I ordered some homebrew ingredients from Austin homebrew and made sure to get the ice pack to help out the yeast in this heat. It shipped 5 days ago and when I picked it up at my doorstop it was quite warm, also it's date is June 11. I smaked the activator (2112 california lager) 3 hours ago and it's barely swelled. My question is what are the chances this yeast is damaged and should I just go out and buy more yeast tonight? I want to make a starter tonight so I can brew tomorrow night.
Any info is much appreciated.
