Well - I finally ordered my Stone IPA clone from a very reputable 'online' homebrew store.
Although the yeast was packaged with a cold-pak, it was very warm - it felt like the yeast had been at room temperatures for several hours (no signs of cold).
Question - is the yeast still good? I don't want to eff around with my $60 box of ingredients and not to mention the time it takes to brew only to have bad or inactive yeast.
I have since placed the yeast and hops in the fridge but need to know if the yeast is now tainted.
