The best before for wyeast as I believe is 6 months from packaging listed on the pack. If I have a pack that is nearing the 6 month mark, make up a stater and split it up. Is that a simple way of extending its shelf life? I take it happy yeast is happy yeast.
And then I can store my bottles of yeast at fridge temp till I need them and make another starter etc etc.
Or is it simply better to split it up earlier resulting in better yeast and using it if I can?
I know its only a guide and if it swells its usually all good.
