How long will Wine Yeast last? and what is the best way to store the Wine Yeast?

Wine yeast typically lasts 1-2 years if stored properly, though some sources say it can remain viable for even longer if kept under ideal conditions.

Best Storage Practices for Wine Yeast
1. Keep it cool: Store yeast in a cool, dry place. The refrigerator is ideal because it slows down the yeast’s metabolism, helping it stay viable longer.
2. Avoid moisture: Moisture can activate the yeast prematurely, so keeping it in an airtight container or the original sealed packet is important.
3. Freeze for long-term storage: For storage beyond a year, freezing yeast can extend its shelf life. Just make sure it’s in an airtight bag or container to avoid moisture damage. 

By following these practices, you can ensure that your yeast remains potent and ready to ferment when you need it.
