I'm planning to brew a NB dry Irish stout extract next weekend but the yeast pack I bought has been in the fridge for a week and there are some ice crystals that formed in it. Is it ruined or should I still try to make a starter? I just got the equipment for a started but have not done one yet. I also have a chinook IPA in secondary that I could try and harvest yeast from but it's wyeast northern ale... not like the 1084 Irish ale I'm supposed to use.
Any thoughts on this?
