So 3 weeks ago I finally broke out the Mr Beer kit that my Mom got me for Christmas (i've since bought a 5 gal kit from midwest).
Anyways the yeast was sitting in the box (in a closet) for over 6 months in the Mr Beer box.
Since joining this fourm and watching youtube, i've learned that you should keep it in the fridge if not brewing right away.
I bottled about 18 last week and was going to open the 1st later.
Will the old yeast packet have a huge effect on the beer? Seemed like it fermented well (i let ferment for 2 weeks) but the temp was an average of 75/77 degrees (a bit high).
Thanks
