Why do kit yeast packets have numbers on them?

from memory
the coopers ones have the year and the day they were made
i think something like 06245 would be the year ie 06 and the 245 being the 245th day in the year
cheers

Correct. It's generally a packed-on date or use-by date. Sometimes in code (if you can call it that, as it's not exactly rocket science), as with the 06245 example, above.Cortez The Killer wrote:from memory

Cooper's beer used to be dated this way in print on the bottle. Now the bottle-conditioned ales have a "best after" date.
