I just got my ingredients for a brew tomorrow, and thought I would try US-05 instead of Notty. I haven't used US-05 in about 4 years, but I can't remember if this is supposed to be vacuum sealed like Nottingham? The instructions say not to use soft or damaged sachets, and I can hear the yeast rattling around when I shake it. The expiration date is February of 2015, so still within usable time frame.
 
I got some today from NB and its dated 5/16 and they don't vacuum seal like the notty is. I thinks produced from different company. Your yeast is fine. I use it all the time.
 
Thanks guys, I thought as much. It would probably be good if their instructions were a little more clear ;)
