then it was packaged on 3/19. That puts it at 18% viability. Make a starter and you're fine.
Bottomland, Do you pitch straight into a full sized starter at this viability level or start small and step it up?

It would depend. Most of the time I'll just pull 1.2-1.5l of wort off when I boil and build up a starter overnight. In this example, that puts me at 187 to 229 billion cells, where 198 is my target for a 1.054 beer (using the Troester calc for stir plate starters). If it's a bigger beer, I'll start the starter a day or two early and step it up once.
