They were dried and stored in a cupboard for like 2 years lol.
So yeah, probably. But if the krausen is anything to go by, it doesn’t seem to be an issue so far.

That’s awesome! Hope it comes out great.
Just curious, if you added it after you cooled off your wort, do you need to worry about wild yeast or bacteria on the habaneros?

Never really head issues with wilds on fruits, once your pitch is large enough and vigorous, all should be safe. Dry fruits are safes as yeast is certainly dormant in them and will not have a chance to germinate.
