Yeast Question

Feb 12, 2005 4 Replies

Hi, I new to this ng and I need some help



I have some yeast for rice wine that I bought about three to four years ago. I kept in a plastic containers and I am wondering if it is still good. Further, are there any ways I could test the yeast?



Thank you for your help.



Throw it away and buy some more just before you are going to use it!

I second the motion! Trying to save pennies with yeast is like buying cheap gas for your Rolls-Royce......

From what I have read the yeast should last about a year if it has been refrigerated and the package hasn't been opened.

My yeast packs come with a expiration date on them; usually about 2 years from now.
