I have a belgian wit ready to brew soon since I have available bottles, but my yeast had a "best by" date of 03/28/11
. I have some wheat DME, and a 1L flask for a starter. Mr. Malty however says I would need 2 packs of yeast this old to make a viable starter. Since I got it, it has been sitting in the fridge, wrapped in a brown paper towel to keep out light.
Should I try making a starter with just one vial of liquid yeast, or just get a new vial to ensure a brew? It's White Labs WLP400 yeast, if it matters, and going into a partial mash.
