Tomorrow I plan on brewing Ferocious IPA from Midwest Supply, I got this smack pack they offered with the recipe. I've never used a smack pack before or a liquid yeast for that matter. I'm nervous about it since it was shipped and don't know how high the temps may have gotten. The OG is supposed to be about 1.065, that's the highest gravity I have will have brewed and the yeast says it can handle 1.060 OG. I also have a pack of Nottingham in the fridge.
So at 7:00 am I plan to smack the pack and I will be back from work around 5:30 pm to start brewing, hopefully pitching by 9:00pm. Does this sound ok? I have the pack of yeast sitting at room temp right now (70*)
