What would be more interesting would be if you had just made bread
from yeast you froze a year ago (and presumably you could)?

Given I'm guessing you don't need a lot, I'm surprised you don't hear
more of people keeping their own frozen stocks (like ice cubes)?

Or is it that *normally* dried / fresh yeast is so easy to come by?

I normally buy yeast in half-kilo, vacuum-packed bricks, and store it in
the freezer. If kept frozen, it can remain active _years_ past the use
by date.

Last lot I bought was in 30 gram foil wrapped lumps - from Morrisons.

When defrosted it goes a bit like very soft putty.
