Wyeast Sweet Mead Yeast #4184 viability?

[Bill W]

How long is Wyeast Sweet Mead Yeast #4184 good for, refrigerated?

 

[Luc]

Most yeast can be kept longer as a year in the refridgerator.

To make sure the yeast is viable make a yeast starter.

This makes sure the yeast is healthy and gives you a real good
jumpstart during fermentation.
