Can it explode? They can get pretty inflated, I'm sure they've thought it out and I'm just worring but can it happen? I was thinking I'd just buy 2 packs and pitch those rather than doing a starter tomorrow. Was gonna smack em at like 9ish and let em sit at room temp till like 3-4pm and pitch is that alright?
Wyeast smack pack explode?

Yeah thats chill. Although depending on the beer, you don't necessarily need to do a starter. I tend to like my hefeweizens with some esters from stressing the yeast by under pitching. I have done both and there is a difference in taste, but I wouldn't say its a huge difference but it all depends on your preference.
But as far as it exploding, your fine. That has never happened to me.

no it will not explode... never
My LHBS has a fully swelled smack pack that looks like it is about to explode just sitting on the counter.
Date it was smacked: 2005.
