So I'm making the Left Hand Milk Stout clone from this website, scaled down to 3.5 gallons so I can do a no sparge beer with the restraints of my brewing capacities.
Now, I have WLP 041 Pacific Ale which based off the description I thought would do well, but I also bought Wyeast 1056, but the Wyeast is like a week past its prime.
I cannot decide if I should mix these two yeasts or make a starter with the WLP yeast. I do not want to use the Wyeast for this on its own, but fear losing more viability.
Any thoughts on the cons of mixing the two yeasts ?
