I purchased a couple of Wyeast liquid yeast smak-paks yesterday. The package says "use within 6 months of the manufacture date". However, there is no manufacture date on the package. There is this on the package: "Best by 17 April 2024".
That "best by" date is 5 months from now. Yeast viability can change significantly over that period of time. For purposes of making a proper amount of starter, it would be nice to know the date of manufacture. Does Wyeast have a specific time between the "best by" date and date of manufacture?
