I'm wondering if I should get some new yeast for a batch I'm about to brew. I was given a home brew kit back in june with an irish stout recipe inside. I didn't want to brew that one until I had a few under my belt and it was a bit colder outside.
Was going to brew tonight and I noticed the yeast pack has a comment saying to store between 41-50 degrees F. It's dry yeast and the expiration date on back says good until july 2014. It sat inside my office, in the box, out of the sun since I got it. The temp in this room never really gets above 72.
Any issues with using this yeast since it's sat non-refrigerated this long? Should I just order some more to be on the safe side? Not a lot of options for home brew places around me, so I'd just have to order from web.
