Checking if 3787 is still alive

[mashdar]

Just checking if my 9 month old 3787 is still usable.

This is ~900mL total starter volume in 5L flask.

Why do I put up with this yeast?

edit: high krausen mark is at 5.25L

I use The Yeast Bay's Belgian Dry which has a lot in common with 3787. I'll be kegging a blonde and using the cake for fermenting the grapes on my fence. Have a Dupple Strong in a barrel I'll keg at the same time. You love that yeast because it does everything Belgian depending on the temp at the start of fermentation. My wines and mead finish at 1.000 or under at 13.2% abv, had a RIS get to 14.6 abv.
I make overbuild starters, have 4 different ones and try to refresh at 6 months.
