Hey all,
I bought a smack pack a while ago, and it has been in the fridge for a while now. The creation date is April 19, 2014. The pack has stayed in my refrigerator all this time, but has still expanded as if I smacked the pack.
Could I make a starter for it or should I just let it go? I don't mind making a starter, but I don't have a stir plate. It would be good to learn how to do it. I just don't want to waste $50 of grain when I should have just replaced a $6 yeast pack.
Your advice is greatly appreciated.
