Making a clone of Deschutes Mirror Pond Pale Ale (single hop cascade)
My Wyeast 1187 smack-pack was expired so I smacked it and waited a day, saw some but little swelling. About 10 hours ago I pitched a pack of dry S-04. Now, 10 hours later, the 1187 is completely swollen. Since I was looking for the 1187 flavor profile and S04 seemed to be the closest of dry yeasts, would it be good to add the smack pack to the 10-hour old fermentation as is? Should I make a starter of the 1187 instead and keep it till next month? The smack-pack was produced March 29, 2018.
Thanks for letting me know!
