I intended on brewing tonight so I broke the activator on my Wyeast last night. Only today did I realize I'm missing a fermenting bucket to actually ferment with d'oh, big mistake! The Wyeast pack is completely swelled and I'm worried that my yeast will begin to die off before it's even grown. Will it still be good tomorrow? How long between activating the Wyeast pack do I have to use it? Put the yeast in a cool place and you'll be fine. Bring it up to pitching temperature before pitching and you'll be good to go.
When you smack the pack it's just giving the yeast more nutrients, so they're not in any worse shape than before you smacked the pack. Keeping them cool will reduce any loss in yeast health. Making a starter is a good way to go, but equally, if this is your first brew, you may want to keep things simple. I suggest use this as a chance to make a starter. Get some DME, cook it and make a 1. When it has cooled to fermentation temp pitch the yeast and aerate as much as possible.
If you have a question they cannot answer, then they can contact Wyeast with your question. If a retailer is shipping yeast, how should it be packaged? All yeast shipments should be packed with enough ice to keep the yeast cool until it reaches it's destination. Remember this is a living organism that will be damaged by extended or repeated periods of warm temperatures. What is the best way to store yeast before use? In a refrigerator as cold as possible without freezing.
What should the gravity of a starter be? The gravity for a starter should be 1. What are the causes of swollen packages?
Can you sell them? Swollen packages are almost always the cause of a small amount of sugar or CO 2 being left in solution at the time of packaging. Upon shipment, CO 2 can be released from solution or the yeast can consume the sugar and create a small amount of CO 2. Cell autolysis, or cell death can also be a cause of swelling packaged. However, this is only in rare cases where the yeast is exposed to high temperature for an extended amount of time. If a package is swollen and has not been mishandled, it can be sold with confidence.
What questions should be asked to a customer that has a problem fermentation? What strain, date, size of package, and manufacturing code? What is the gravity and temperature? What was the OG and pitching temp? How many hours since pitching? Did you make a starter? Method of aeration? What are optimal levels of O 2 in wort? What is the max level of O 2 you can get in a carboy using air? Approximately how long do you have to shake a 5 gallon 19L carboy to get oxygen saturation 8 ppm?
How long do you have to run a stone with an aquarium pump to achieve O 2 saturation 8 ppm in 5 gallons 19 L of wort? How do you achieve higher than 8 ppm O 2 levels in your wort? By injecting pure oxygen into your wort through a stone 1 min for 12 ppm. Or, by flowing pure oxygen into the carboy's head space and shaking for 20 seconds, twice. What factors are associated with ester fruity production?
Decreased pitch rate of yeast, increased fermentation temperature, and increased original gravity. We strive to answer all of your yeast-related questions. If you have not found your answer on our site, please login to contact customer service. Wyeast sells yeast customized to fit your needs.
We will help you to determine a propagation schedule that works with your budget and your system. I received my yeast, but was not able to use it right away. How long can I store my yeast before using it? It is best to use your yeast within 2 weeks of receipt. The length of storage will directly and negatively affect the lag time. If the yeast must be held for more than 2 weeks, it is beneficial to feed the culture before using it. Wyeast sells direct pitch quantities for any size brewery.
We customize your pitch rate to match the yeast, beer style, temperature, and original gravity. Should I pitch more yeast? Always take a gravity reading before making any assumptions.
If you take a gravity reading and it still shows no activity, then you must try to figure out what is inhibiting fermentation. The only factors that could keep the yeast from fermenting are: temperatures too low or too high at run-in, no oxygenation at run-in, pitch rates too low, or a very unhealthy yeast culture.
I brewed a high gravity beer; can I re-pitch the yeast from this batch? Do not re-pitch yeast from a high gravity beer; the yeast is not healthy and will give you problems in subsequent generations.

Now, a couple of days at F is an entirely different story. Two and half months is not that old in the grand scheme of things. I have started yeast off of refrigerated slants that were two years old. The maximum cell density for a liquid culture is million yeast cells per milliliter, which means that the maximum cell density for a 1L culture is billion yeast cells.
The biggest mistake that amateur brewers make when making a starter is treating it like a small batch of beer. The goal of a starter is to increase yeast biomass, not produce ethanol. If possible, we want to pitch the culture just as the deceleration phase meets the stationary phase. That's the point where no additional biomass growth occurs.
