Title: White labs Pure Pitch - Inner pouch breached on arrival
Post by: molc on September 20, 2016, 10:15:56 AM
Heya,
Got an order from HBC today and the white labs pouch seems to have breached inside and is flowing around against the outer pouch. It's not leaking but it's def broken free.  Does anyone know if the outer sleave is sanitised or will it be ruined?

I also wont be using the yeast for at least a month :/

You can see the pouch on the right.l vs a normal on the left.

I'd guess it is sanitised but I'd still contact HBC, get them to contact White Labs and get yourself a replacement.

Cool, got in contact and they're sorting it out for peace of mind. One happy brewer here.
