idunnololzI bought frozen BBQ eel and the best before date says LJ349. What does this mean?
clifI mean… Expiration dates are mostly a lie anyway. Just do the sniff test, probably fine.
But, on topic, I do appreciate the post since that’s weird.
Ookami38Hard to do a sniff test on an unopened item in the store. I know that’s not this exact scenario, and best by dates are iffy at best, but I’d like to have some notion of how long the product I’m about to buy has been around.
At the homebrewing store I used to frequent, I always picked through the cooler for the youngest yeast. Then they moved the cooler behind the cash registers and they clerks would just grab the one in the front. Then stupid Northern Brewer shut down all their retail stores.
BizzleHave you considered propagating your own yeast? You’re pretty much already doing it when you make beer, it’s super easy.
I definitely considered it but I haven’t brewed in about 6 years.
