I had my yeast shipped to my house, will it be ok?

Over the summer months we ship yeast all over the country to varying climates, and more than 95% of these are shipped successfully. That being said the most common issues with shipping yeast is a loss in viability which translates into extended lag periods before activity is noted. It isn't a bad idea to have a dry yeast on hand just in case something does go wrong with your liquid yeast. It takes a lot to kill yeast, so it is unlikely the yeast is dead, but it may take more time than usual for the yeast to repair itself and then start fermenting. If in doubt, create a yeast starter.
