Once it is in the refrigerator it will last a very long time. It usually takes me about 9 months to go through a big brick of instant yeast and if it is kept in the fridge the last loaf looks just as good as the first. Be sure to let me know how your next loaf come out! Colleen Wendy, the yeast bit is something that really should be in every cookbook. Once it is in the refrigerator it will last a very long time.

Mine was also a good deal gloopier at this stage, so I think I added too much water.
