Smack pack yeast!

[mdawson9]

Hey guys,
Brewed a Cali common and had wyeast 2112 to pitch. Smacked it and after I aerated the wort and opened it, I see the activation pack didn't open when I smacked it. It was making yeasty sounds so that was surprising. Anyway, I pitched the yeast, then see that it hadn't opened. So I just opened the activation pack and pitched the contents. OG is 1.056.
So did I screw up this beer? Should I pitch another pack? Or is this all good?
Thanks for the help!

The little packet inside is yeast nutrient. I've heard of people pitching the yeast without the nutrient (I don't know why you wouldn't, but I know some have), so you should be fine. Maybe a slower ferm start, but I wouldn't worry.

As long as the yeast was not to old, with or without the nutrient pack, you should be okay.
I like to use this pitch rate calculator to determine whether or not a starter is needed.

It's fine. I've had this happen and still ended up with good results. Just give it a little longer to get started.
