Hey guys! Got a yeast querstion...
I received four 1/2 extract 1/2 grain recipe kits for Christmas - all with White Lab Liquid yeasts, from MidwestSupplies.com.
Problem is I haven't been able to brew all of them yet. I have only brewed 2 out of 4 kits so far.
I do plan on getting around to brewing them both probably within the next month or so.
My question is the date on the WL labels. It says best used before April of this year. Does that mean that I need to pitch it before April, or that my beer (post fermentation, secondary, & bottling) won't be very good past April?
I can't remember the exact verbiage on the label because I'm at work right now, but I was pretty confused as to whether I should be purchasing new yeast when I get around to brewing the next two batches, or just use what I have.
Should I be overly concerned, or just brew on like normal, or purchase new yeast when I'm ready?
BTW, the yeast has been in the fridge all this time....
