Comment on I bought frozen BBQ eel and the best before date says LJ349. What does this mean?

At the homebrewing store I used to frequent, I always picked through the cooler for the youngest yeast. Then they moved the cooler behind the cash registers and they clerks would just grab the one in the front. Then stupid Northern Brewer shut down all their retail stores.

Have you considered propagating your own yeast? You’re pretty much already doing it when you make beer, it’s super easy.

I definitely considered it but I haven’t brewed in about 6 years.
