Dry Yeast

[RollingStone]

Hello Everyone,

I have a question for you fellas. I have bought 4 packs of Safale US-05 dry yeast and did not read the instructions as I thought it is dry should be fine in room temp. BUT, now i have realised it says keep refrigerated and it has been out in room temp. for about 4 weeks now. so, what is your opinion?

Will it be fine to use it or order new ones?

I would go ahead and use it (and have done so with dry yeast kept at room temperature). Keeping it cool is best, though.

As Pappers says, stored cool is best. But I do shop at one particular LHBS that has dry sachets on the shelves non-refrigerated. I'll buy a sachet from them in a pinch, but cool is best.
