I am not sure if you can really tell from these pictures, but the yeast package is about three times the size it was on saturday. It does say on the package to allow it to swell for three hours or more, or immediately direct pitch into wort. It is not necessary for this package to fully swell before use. So I think we will be ok with the other one that is brewing, but with this one would it be ok to use on sat if we brew another batch? I think I remember reading somewhere to use it within 24 hours after smacking it, but it doesn't say anything on the package. I would feel like an idiot sending this one back at this point.

My grandma is visiting from SC this weekend so i have to go home... so im out. And next weekend, i have a Jeep trip to go to. You guys are welcome to brew another batch if youd like, dont want the yeast to die.
Knowing how variable yeast can be (mutations and all) I would be very hesitant to pitch any yeast that has been allowed to grow unhindered longer than recommended. Lets just count this bag as a "well at least we know for next time" moment.
Oh... by the way... I dare you to drink it.
I will pay you five bucks to drink it.
oh actually the following weekend i wont be going on my trip so we can get together then if you guys want to.
