I bought several packs of OYL-605 last March of which I just found the last one in the fridge. I've brought old yeast back to life by stepping up starters. Do the same principles apply with lacto? Or, should I just toss it and buy new?
Old post but had the same question. How did this work out for youI'm gonna give it a whirl and see what happens. I've never tasted a lacto starter so I wouldn't know what revived viability tastes like. I guess it's up to the visuals and the pH meter.
Just in case anyone is interested I contacted omega and they said the yeast is probably dead after a year. Guess I'll just buy some probiotics. Much cheaper
How would I go about making a starter with L. Plantarum. Is oxygen a big issue. I'm thinking no stir plate. Would I need an airlock on the flask or just covering it with aluminum foil be acceptable.If you want to see whether the bacteria are alive, just make a starter. Simple.
On the other hand, L. plantarum probiotics are cheap and very reliable, so that's never a bad option.

Make some normal starter wort, chill, and add the culture. It does not need to be stirred. Either airlock or foil are ok.How would I go about making a starter with L. Plantarum.
