A long time Wyeast user I'm using the White Labs "Pure Pitch" tomorrow.  At least I hope it's pure as I discovered what appears to be a beard or nose hair sealed in what I hope is only the outer packaging.

1 - that's hilarious
2 - I'm sure it's between the pouch and the laminate or coating from the printing

[bboy9000]

Yeah not that worried.  There appears to be two layers of packaging. I just found it funny with all the marketing regarding the new packaging.  They might want to consider some QC on the packaging line.

Wow, that sucks though. Pretty pure and "organic".

You only hope that is a beard or nose hair.

FWIW, the inner and outer packaging are sealed in different buildings, and the facility where they put on the outer pouches is cleaner than any brewery, but not a positive-pressure clean room like the yeast labs.

Pure? Pure based on a pretty low bar I'd say. That's super funny!

Are you sure that's not the hair of the dog? Famous hangover cure...

[Wort-H.O.G.]

you just hope its a "beard or nose hair" 

as stated, separate pouch containing yeast from outside packaging....all should be well. which yeast is it? curious on your brew and what you think. going starter or no starter?

Doing a "breakfast stout."

I did a 1.2L starter with two pouches of wlp 001.  I finished brewing two hours ago and the starter looks like it's probably at high krausen so I'm getting ready to pitch.

Edit: I actually had an OG of 1.075, not the projected 1.079.
