I ordered some yeast online about a month ago, and it arrived after being in transit for about 6 days and sat on my porch for a few hours on a 90 degree day.
Sunday morning I decided to make a yeast starter, and I have yet to see any real activity. Definitely no krausen, just a little bit of gas escaping from the growler I'm using.
Wouldn't I have seen something substantial by now? Its been 60 hours or so since I pitched it. According to How to Brew, the krausen can be easy to miss. Think it happened while I wasn't watching?
I was worried the yeast got too hot for too long while it was being shipped to my door. Would that kill it?
thanks
