Hey!
Somebody gave me about 200g of Nottingham dry yeast dated from 2008. I would not even try to ferment a beer with it, since, you know, a new pack is so cheap, and anyways, I'm really on White Labs these days.
But, it could be useful for bottle condition (I began to add some fresh yeast at bottling recently) or some experiments of some sort.
Do you think it's still viable? It have been repacked in 1oz vacuum sealed packages, stored in a fridge the whole time.
I will probably open a package and wake it up in a starter to see what's going on, but I was curious to hear thoughts on that.
Thanks a lot!
