I'm curious to know what is the most expired yeast you have or would consider buying? Like most LHBS mine has expired yeast on sale all the time, about 50% off. I was looking to buy a particular kind of yeast a couple months ago and they were out but had some of it that had expired (I believe more than a year ago). Now I know you need to make a starter with any expired yeast and maybe do it a couple of times to build it up properly.
So with that all being said, how far past the expiration date would you buy expired yeast? Also is there a rule of thumb to follow? If it's X months old, a single starter is typically enough? If X months or years old, X number of starters are typically needed?
Thanks in advance!!!
