A few days ago I was going to start the yeast before adding it to my homemade dandelion wine. I added some yeast to a cup with a little sugar and a bit of water, a quick stir and left it for a minute. When I checked to see if it was foaming and reacting, it was not. No worries. I didn't recall how old my yeast was and although I keep it in the refrigerator I thought maybe it was old and wouldn't work.
I grabbed the container, added a couple more teaspoons of yeast to the cup and left the room to work in the office for a bit. About 10 minutes later I came into the kitchen to find this little monster on my counter. Yes, my yeast was fine! Ooops!
