DAE use old yeast and end up with brick bread?

I found some yeast in the back of my pantry... didn't check the date. My dough never rose, and I baked it anyway... ended up with a dense, hard loaf. Now I always test my yeast first.

Ever read that old yeast needs sugar to wake up, or it stays dead?

Ugh, been there. Yeah I always do the little test in warm water now. Saves so much time and flour.

Add sugar to the test? Makes it foam faster.
