Read that instant yeast expires way faster than I thought...

I was looking at a bag of yeast I've had since last spring and checked the date... it's 9 months past expiration. I used it in my last bread batch and the loaves came out flat and dense. How long do you all keep your yeast before tossing it?

Nah, expired yeast usually just needs more time to proof, not totally dead.

Tossed mine after a flat loaf, and @ben206 can keep his old yeast.

Bet on the old yeast every time. Patience fixes most baking fails.
