Without getting into a long story as to why this happened, I just opened a brew order from an e-tailer that has been sitting at room temp for 4 days, plus 2 days in transit. I'm concerned about the integrity of the pellet hops and the dry yeast (us-05). Anyone ever have any bad experiences with this much time at warm temperatures?
Both the hops and yeast are in the refrigerator now. The yeast and half the hops will be used this weekend, the other half next weekend. I'd hate to waste the ingredients, but would hate to waste my time even more.
