I recently found some WLP099 yeast, still in the old glass vile, in the back of my refrigerator. It was almost 1 1/2 years overcode, but I decided to try and do a starter with it. I added it to one pint of 1.040 sterile wort and put on the stirplate for the usual 48 hours. I never saw the slightest evidence of fermentation--not so much as a bubble, nor did the wort change color in the slightest way(something that has never happened to me with any yeast). The result however, was a FG of 1.014. Just curious. Is this a nuance of this particular yeast. I didn't use it, but what of happened if I did? Thanks.
