Hey guys giving my first go at a NZ Pils recipe and using WLP830 for a 5 gal batch 1.051.
Got my yeast today and a little disappointed it expired in September and I won’t be brewing till end of October. Brewers Friend yeast calculator says there is no viable yeast! Beersmith says 40% viable. I got time to build a starter but there seems to be a discrepancy in how many cells I'm starting with.
I know yeast is pretty important in this style, I’m a little hesitant to roll with this, any suggestions?
