Weird yeast?

[janisovic]

Hi,
I am making my second beer. First was amazing. It was time to put the yeast in the fermentor (beer was at around 22-23°C). While the beer was looking good i opened the pack of yeast that came with the extract. Half of the yeast was good but half of the yeast was in chunks...some of them broke up after mixing a little but some of them are still in little chunks...could it be the moisture in a bag ? (Could the bag had a small hole?) I put the bag in the metabisulfate with the bag of extract just to make sure everything is properly sterilized.

Or is this normal ? But yeast is almost "glued" together in this chunks...

Thanks

I'm sure its fine. Dehydrated yeast is very resilient.

Do you have signs of activity yet?
