shelf life of a package of Lelvin yeast

[stevenb07734]

I have had this one package of 71b-1122 in my desk draw for about a year. Am about ready to turn my apple juice into cider. Should I use this yeast, or should I get a new package from the store? I don't see any expiration date on the package.

Correction--never mind, I just looked more closely and see it faintly stamped on it. It is good to go.

Dry yeast lasts many years, even at room temp.
