New Wyeast dates?

[brownni5]

It's been a while, but last I remember, Wyeast had "packaged on" dates printed on the label (didn't they?). Now I see "best before dates" on a couple packs that came the other day (and they're dated July and August). Is that new? What's their new "expiration" policy - it used to be 3 months, it's clearly longer now. Just trying to get a feel for how old/young these packs are.

I think that was phased in last year. The "best by" date is 6 months from the "born on" date...

Cheers!

I figured it must be 6 months - pretty fresh right now then. Thanks!
