Reviving 2 vials of expired yeast

[bluebarnaclebrewing]

I habe two vials of the yeast bay saison blend (2 months expired in a week)

Making a starter using 2 pints of water with 1/2 cup DME as per the white labs website to revive expired yeast. Since I'm using two vials can I just dump them both in the same starter or is there something I'm not considering? The beer it's destined for is about 1.055

Thanks

I don't see why you shouldn't add both. I would.

That's so funny,I just pitched the blend II that was best used by May 15th. Put one tube in 1qt of 1.040 wort, it took ~36 hrs before i saw any CO2 rafts,started stir plate and 24 hrs later added another qt of wort,it finished 24 hrs later,chilled decanted and pitched. Saw activity in~12 hrs. I would save one of those for later, you just have to start small and it takes a little time.

I've used them up to a year past expiration (in a starter of course). Two weeks is nothing lol!

I dumped them both in since my LHBS gave me an extra for free. Beer took off in record time and it's chugging away nicely.
