Disclaimer - again I'm new to this forum and just getting back into brewing after a 2+ year break, so please forgive anything stupid I say and mods, please feel free to move this post into a more fitting thread.
So I'm gearing up to brew my first batch of beer in 2+ years and I am going to attempt to revive a 1 year old vial of Whitelabs Abbey Ale yeast that was stored in a cold fridge using my stir plate and Erlenmeyer flask. I've used this system before with great success, but not for reviving yeast this old.
I picked up a 4lb bag of corn surgar off Amazon (great price for the volume) to hopefully get it going but I'm concerned about how to properly store it, as my past attempt at storing corn sugar ended up with it turning into a brick, even though the bag was sealed.
Also, if this is a fools errands and this yeast is unquestionably deceased feel free to let me know so I don't waste time and resources.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
