The first week of October, I bought a fresh pack of WY1450 Denny's Favorite 50. I made a 1L starter with it, then stepped that up to 4L on my stirplate. I used half of it in an oatmeal stout that weekend, then put the other half in a growler in the refrigerator. I had intended to use it sooner, but at this point it's now two months old.
I'm planning on brewing this weekend, and have time if i start tonight to step up and split again, but I'm a bit unsure if I should, and I'm also unsure if i should even use that yeast.
Right now I'm thinking that I will pitch the yeast into a 4L starter, put that on the stirplate for 24h, split and put in the refrigerator until i brew Sunday, at which point i'll use half and store half again.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
