Living in a place where bread has to be made (Thailand, land of rice and more rice) I have to travel 2 hours to get to a bakers supply.  Well, they had refridgerated cake yeast and I bought a brick of it.  I know that yeast wants to be kept cool so it doesn't activate, so I had a cooler with me and purchased some ice to keep it cool on the way back home, not thinking about the ice melting and it laying in the water for a couple of hours!!!!!   I did not open the yeast when I got home, rather I let it drip as much as it could and then put it in a container and back into the refridgerator.  My question is:  will it be okay to use as long as it is kept cool, even if it got wet?  I can get packaged instant yeast near where I live, but thought I would try the real stuff.  Grrrrrr.....

Thank for any input. pe
