I have 2.5 year old packet of Coopers Ale yeast. It came off a coopers hopped extract kit. My cousin gave it to me. He gave up the hobby.
I am going to brew an English Blonde next weekend and I have on hand the pack of Coopers and a pack of Danstar Windsor.
What would I expect from the Coopers ester wise? Any comments on how Coopers tastes versus other English yeasts?
The Coopers packet is 7g. Should I make a starter? I will make a 6 gallon batch.
Is my packet of Coopers too old? I only know when my cousin bought it. I don't know how old the kit was before he brought it.
