How to Use a Wyeast Activator Smack Pack
This video goes over the process of using a Wyeast Activator Smack Pack. While online resources showing the best way to activate the pack were helpful, I found the directions on the pack itself to be the easiest.
On my first attempt, the nutrient pouch inside the pack did not break, but I decided to pitch it anyway. After doing some research I found out that the yeast does not even need to "activate." It's just used to get the yeast going and test viability. Per Wyeast, you can pitch without activating and it will work just fine.
