Hey guys I find myself wondering as I am about to make my yeast starter this morning of WLP090 San Diego super yeast for a Citra and Cascade ale recipe im going to give a try. I see on the pkg that it is best before March 14 2013 which is good, but when was it packaged?
On the Wyeast packages they usually put the date when that particular batch of yeast was packaged which in Beersmith when you input that date, gives you a pretty good idea of the viability of your yeast.
So my question is if my White labs is good until march 14th then is there a rule of thumb i should know to have an approximate idea of when my yeast was packaged? 2 months? 3? etc.
Thanks in advance
Dave
