I have a few questions regarding yeast starters
1 I am making a few starters for Wyeast london Ale 1968
So I bought this Crosby & Baker Yeast nutient and I want to add it to my 2 liters of 1.038 starter made from DME if I add it while the starter wort is at about 120 F will it kill the nutrienrts. I am waiting for the wort to cool to 60 F before I pitch the yeast but already added the nutrient not thinking beforehand if the heat would destroy the nutrients Also I have no idea what this brand of nutrient contains as there is nothing on the label as far as contents.
2 The DME I used was probably 10 years old tastes fine so I'm not really worried boout using it it kinda turned intoa solid chunk of extract but I boiled it for 40 mins and all seems OK. Should I be worried about using 10 year old extract to make my starter?
