Hi all,
I went to make a starter and checked the date on the wyeast packet to enter into mr malty and it says my yeast is dead with 0 cell count.
Is this correct?

Probably. I tried making a starter with a wlp001 that was 2 months past bb date and couldn't get a nod from it. DOA
But I think it is always worth a try, you may have to build it a couple of times but that's better than pouring it down the drain.

My last 3 starters made this year have been 1187, 1026PC and 1968 manufacturing dates Feb 13, Jun 13 and Mar 13. Made starters and fermented no problem.
