I have a couple of packets that are use by mid sept so I'll take that as a sign that I need to make some beers with this stuff. I'm thinking at least 3 beers.
Beer 1:
10 gallons, lower OG, lower kettle hopping level
direct pitch from packets
Save some yeast
Make a good sized starter
Save some of the starter
Use the rest for beer 2
Beer 2:
10 gallons, any OG and hop level I want suckahs!
make another starter with yeast reserved from last starter
Beer 3:
10 gallons, big beer, either another baltic porter or maybe a maibock. not sure...
