    Old yeast worked - Anyone else used old yeast successfully?

    Liquid yeast is often viable well after the manufacturer's expiration date. it is probably useful to make a starter before brew day to ensure that viability. But on more than one occasion I've had those starters blow the top off the flask. be

    Just did a British Golden Ale with Verdant and Jester hopps. Like it immensly. Verdant is equivalent to Lallemand's version of 1318, Juice,.... While I've not used Verdant in a mild, I have used Imperial Juice with good results.
