So yesterday was my first experience in the homebrewing world. Thought it went pretty well considering i only have a hot plate to boil the couple gallons of water on. The problem is that once my wert cooled and was in the primary fermenter(at around 70 degrees) I added the yeast expecting the yeast to go nuts as I had used a can of liquid malt and an extra 3 pounds of dried malt. But nothing happened. I waited...still nothing, this morning nothing. So I looked at the yeast package that came with the can of liquid malt, and it says "Best used before November 6, 2006". So maybe the yeast just died? Any ideas?
