I have no doubt in my mind that Alemans statement, "Freezing yeast severely downgrades it's viability", is unfaultable!
None the less, I grew a culture from Weston's "Old Rosie" and froze it 9.5 months ago.
This week I used it in a starter for my latest TC, it was fully active in less than 36 hours!
I don't suppose it makes a deal of difference whether it's frozen for a day or a year, any damage is in the freezing.
I now have about 25 different yeasts in my freezer, all home grown, I think it's worth the gamble!
