Danstar Munich Dry Yeast and Expiration

[zyx345]

I have a packet of Danstar Munich dry yeast which has an expiration date of March 2012. Am I still in a safe range to use this packet?

I know I probably should make a starter however if I just rehydrated it properly, do I still stand a good chance that ferment out a 1.050 wort?

I used an expired pack once and it turned out fine

Considering it's not March yet, I'd say you 're probably ok. I've used yeast well past the expiration myself. I'd suggest making a starter first, that way you'll know you have viable yeast.
