my yeast knowledge is sketchy at best-
I have a packet of Wyeast San Diego Super WLP-090. manuf aug 16 Best before date 10 Feb 17.
so I don't want to waste it at here its ~ 12euros a go. Thought id make a starter and if good then stick it in the fridge for 10 days until I can use it.
any problems with my plan? could taste profile, etc be affected by age or is it largely a factor of viable cells?
so had a look at the sticky on how to do this and it seems like it should work. if I spilt some off to a jar and store in the fridge in say a kilner jar. how long would this be viable? and how would I know if the yeast count is then good to pitch into future worts.
could I continue this process indefinitely to keep a steady supply?
apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. I want to get this yeast used before its dead and I'm hols tomorrow.
cheers
