Three days ago, I thawed a 4 dram vial of WY-1335 from my freezer. The yeast stayed in liquid form and seemed in good shape. After two days thawing, I pitched the yeast into a small starter. 24 hours later it looked like the yeast volume had increased significantly. I went ahead and brewed a pale ale. But before pitching I checked the gravity of the starter and it had not changed. Since I had no other choice at that point, I went ahead and pitched the yeast. Just eyeballing it, it looked like there was about 20-25 ml of yeast, which means I would have slightly underpitched, but it shouldn't be that big a deal.
I am wondering if it would be possible for my yeast to multiply without fermenting. If you guys don't forsee any problems, then I'll just let it ride, otherwise I can go to the LHBS tomorrow and pick up a pack of Notty.
