I received some Holdbac LC a while ago and it came in frozen pellet form. All the other starter or adjunct cultures I have used have been the frozen "flakes".
My question is ; the pellets are a bit large and are very hard, do they need to be crushed before adding to milk, or will the pellets soften and dissolve when hydrating on top of the milk? I've been crushing them, but I'm wondering if I'm just killing the cultures by doing so.
