Left my yeast in the garage....

joeirvine · Dec 21, 2011

Just moved and didn't even think to bring my brewing stuff in the house yet..... So basically I left a bunch of ingredients in a box in my garage to freeze and thaw in the crazy Michigan weather for the past couple months..

Is my yeast still any good? I believe I have like 20 packs all dry yeast out there. Danstar Nottingham and Munton's Gold... It's dry yeast so I'm hoping I'm ok....

dry yeast should be fine

i once froze a WY smack pack solid. thawed and pitched, it took off and fermented really well. still have that beer on tap.

You'll be fine and the yeast will actually last longer frozen. Make sure to bring them to room temp the day before and wake them up before you pitch.
