Wow, I thought it was 4 months too... Dude, you got yeast from the FUTURE!!! Well, at least 3 days in the future anyway. Ask it if they have flying cars yet, and let us know. |

I thought that it was 6 months. I don't remember exactly why, but it may have been one of the podcasts or the yeast company website.

From the White Labs Website:
What is the shelf life of White Labs Yeast?
Quick Answer: 4 Months
They go into a more detailed explanation in the FAQ post.
