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 ---

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. ---

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! ![o.jpg](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/brewersassociation/original/2X/d/dfe5ef724f055d2248a1a106c62616d3b6b448db.jpeg) ---

Doing a “breakfast stout.” [https://www.brewtoad.com/recipes/breakfast-stout-173](https://www.brewtoad.com/recipes/breakfast-stout-173) 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. ---
