Saved Yeast... What would YOU do?

I saved two small jars of yeast from my previous Belgian Tripel; I simply poured the yeast slurry into two sanitized jars, covered with sanitized aluminum foil, and popped them into the fridge. I was planning on using them a while ago, but now they have been in the fridge for nearly a month!

- Are these jars of yeast worth trying to use?
- If I do, will their age put any off flavors in my new Belgian Tripel?

If this jarred yeast thing ain't gonna work, as a backup plan, I bought a second vile of yeast.

If they still smell good (as they should) make a starter and check out the flavor of the liquid on top of the yeast after it falls out...sample a taste.

I have 2 seperate yeast cakes in mason jars a couple of months old that I'm going to brew with next week.

i had a jar of wyeast 1187 saved from may that i used in november with no problems
maybe i was just lucky?
your results may vary:

I concurr with everyone else. Make a starter and if the yeast are good they'll wake up and everything should be fine. If they're not good, you'll know before before you start your brew. I expect you won't have any problems.
