So, I had a vial of WLP060 sitting around for a while which I intended to use but never got around to doing so. I plan on brewing this upcoming Wednesday, and thought it was a good time to use this yeast. I question whether it is still good though. Here are the facts.
WLP060
Best Before: 20 Nov 2011 (production 4 months earlier according to packaging)
Stored refrigerated
I checked Mr. Malty and he told me for my gravity/gallons I needed a 4 liter starter using 1 vial on a stir plate. Last night I made some starter wort, 1 gallon worth, and pitched my vial into about 1600 ml of wort at 11pm last night on a stir plate.
Photos - Picture 1 was taken at 12 noon on Monday, and picture 2 was taken at 9pm on Monday night.
My question is thus: The yeast in this starter is obviously active, do I need to worry about pitching this into the rest of the wort that I made?
