It's so hard to tell. Three of them were really swollen, the 4th was puffy (it was a mead yeast.) We are such novices that, to us, it looked like they do after you smack them and wait 3 hours.
I don't know how to do the starters just yet. We just thought, "Well, they are activated. They could have been activated 3 days ago (the amount of time it took to ship) and we can't brew this stuff for another 3 weeks or so. All that considered, it seems like we are screwed so they re-shipped them for us. Northern Brewer has always been good with returns, but it would be so easy to solve this problem - yet they keep packing the stuff so poorly.
