So, I was wrong about the yeast packet being activated in transit. In fact, it had not been activated at all.
The way this particular yeast packet works is this: about four hours before you’re ready to pitch the yeast, you break this inner pouch to release nutrients into the yeast and allow them to activate. Only I could NOT get the inner pocket to burst. So I ended up cutting the bag open, then cutting the inner pouch open and dumping it all into the fermenter.
So…we’ll see how that goes.
