I think it needs a cereal mash Yooper. I read up on it and it seems as if it is steamed before the husk is removed. It still requires a 20 minute prep time before serving so I am thinking it is not...

I am guessing overall it is a wash for me. Batches of beer run between 10 and 15 bucks for 6 gallons just because I brew low gravity beer and reuse the yeast. But I give away a lot more beer so it is...

The yeast is fine. We store the yeast in a fridge that is much colder than that in both liquid and dry form.

Nah you are fine. You are not fermenting enough sugar to get off flavors like you would if you were fermenting a batch from wort.
