Anyone have experience buying more premium yeasts for their winemaking?
My issue right now seems to be that the more premium varieties are only offered in larger amounts, such as 500 g or larger. I'm just curious what the shelf life of these might be. Is it worth sticking to the more common varieties that you can buy in small packets for $1?
Or is it worth upgrading to some of these more interesting varieties, though they come in larger amounts? Can you freeze the excess to preserve them longer?
Any thoughts?
