I ordered the ingredients for a Kolsch last week from Northern Brewer. The yeast I ordered was Wyeast 2565. The package arrived today at home with no one to take it in.
When I opened the package the yeast pack was warm and slightly inflated due mostly to the heat (I hope?). The nutrient pack doesn't feel to be broken. I was planning on brewing this weekend.
So the question is: What affect will the yeast being hot/warm have on the fermenting and ultimately the final outcome of the beer?
I plan on picking up some Safale yeast from my LHBS just incase something goes wrong but since this was my first Kolsch and second all grain I really want this to turn out as I planned.
Thanks
