I'm going to be brewing an ale that has an OG of 1.042-1.046. I have a brand new pack of Wyeast 1056 that came with the kit but I also have 2 packs that are exactly 6 months old that have been in the fridge that I would like to get rid of.
My question is, am I doing more harm than good if I pitch the new pack along with one or both of the old packs? I dont have the necessary items to create a starter to see if the old packs are viable and just thought I'd pitch them all at the same time. Any harm if the old packs arent viable? (at least there is a new pack with good yeast to do the fermentation).
