I have some old grains and they seem to be in good condition, no mould or insect damage, however I am doubtful about using them to make a batch of beer. So I thought I could use them to make up a batch of wort for using in yeast starters. Looking at about 15 - 18 litres, and then freezing in...

Just watched GRAINFATHER BLOG - WEEK 108: YEAST DRYING. A couple of interesting points but most of all @~4:25 into the video, he claims that the frozen dried yeast will last for at least a decade or more. Is this really a feasible option?
