So I have some washed yeast in my fridge of WY #3725 that is approaching a year old. I want to see if it is still viable so I build a 1L starter today from it. It still smelled yeasty so I have high hopes. In the off chance it is viable I want to be ready to brew with it either tomorrow evening or Friday. I only want to use in stock ingredients so here is what I came up with. What are your thoughts? This is the first time I have built a recipe from scratch but from the style descriptions is seems within guidelines. I've also listed my available ingredients so if you have any changes to make you know what I have to work with. Thanks for the help.
