I purchased an out of date wy2206 and stored in fridge for a further 6 months.Oh it was gluten free.
Couple of weeks ago smacked it,it took over a week to start any swelling.Not unusual for older yeast especially lager,I thought.
Left it alone to do it's thing for a few days,opened it to make starter and innoculate slants only to be greeted with a vegemite smelling dark mess.I guessed autolysis.
I have never had a smack pack which eventually with some TLC,didn't offer the goods.So was pretty surprised with what I experienced.
Not complaining about reseller ect.more interested in what happened
