Sold Cheap Expired Dry Yeast

[matt_m]

SOLD.

Cleaning out the Fridge and I apparently went a little nuts on the dry yeast purchases over the pandemic. I have about 21 US-05 that expired about a year ago, about 9 S-04 that expired in September, and a Nottingham that. If anyone wants it, I'll ship it to you in the continental US for $20 to cover the hassle and shipping, payable via Venmo. Probably going to toss in Wednesday morning's trash otherwise.

Too bad it's Venmo. If it was PayPal I'd take it.

Understandable, but I find myself using PayPal less and less except as a way to check out at stores online in a way that doesn't spread my credit card number around as much. So many more people are using Venmo these days, having some money in my Venmo account is almost like having cash.

Don’t throw the yeast away it will be ok. Use a sample of each in brews probably rehydrated first, if it doesn’t work chuck in another in date yeast.

You still have a couple of years to use that yeast.

The other part of this equation is that I really don't use dry yeast so its likely to get a couple more years older. I'm mostly using Imperial these days, if its less than 6 months old I'll just pitch it--had a fresh Pub pack start fermenting in a couple hours over the weekend. After 6 months I'll do a starter to be safe.

That's why I use PayPal. I don't have a credit card linked to it, but I do have cash in my PayPal account. It's mostly from testing Inkbird on here and they refund Amazon purchases to PayPal.

That yeast is still fine. If you’re not going to use it, can you give it to some local home brewers rather than ship it at cost?
Never mind. I see it says sold.
