Red Star Distiller's Yeast (DADY), 1 lb.

Is working well for wine, had some basic yeast that either immediately stalled or might not have been active. Instructions said quarter teaspoon per gallon but I tossed in a full teaspoon to see what happens, started in an hour or two, pretty good for the money if you like wine and table wine

I highly recommend buying this if you are wanting to make multiple batches. Single serving packets are alright if you are first starting out. But, as I become more knowledgeable and wanting to make more batches, this is the way to go. It's NOT turbo. Low and slow here. This yeast makes more usable product with a better tasting finish than the single Turbo yeasts. I am currently on batch 11 (eleven). It has been 17 days and is still bubbling. Some may say it should have been finished already, but I say "low and slow" makes for great times.

It’s a good product it works for what I use it for, also I don’t think it has any additional taste to the end product. Some yeast can do that

Prefer this yeast over all others for a great tasting wine!

This was an experiment. I've been brewing for a dozen years with the normal array of dry beer yeasts. US-05, BRY-97 being my favorites. Over the years I tried a few liquid yeasts, but the burden of storage and the lack of a better beer at the end stopped that pretty quick. The batches have grown in size and so has the price. A 25 gallon batch using 5 packs of yeast was north of $35 just in yeast... Yes...I've harvested yeast from prior batches... But I wanted to try something new. Red Star is a solid company for yeast. I've used their bread yeast (for bread) for decades. You can get it at costco. So I tried this. How it's different: 1. It is aggressive. The only control is with temperature. 2. It's cheap. 3. It's a little more thorough than US05 in converting sugars to alcohol. Add 10-20% to your grain bill for malty flavors. (crystal, munich, vienna) 4. It comes in a big package. 1 pound vs 11 grams. I find using a 16 oz mason jar sterilized in the oven and then putting in the freezer after adding the yeast works well for at least a year. How it's the same: 1. I use similar quantities. About 50-60 grams for 25 gallons. 2. With proper temp control (64°F for bulk Fermentation raising to 68° after 1.015 SG) The fermentation is clean. No detectible Fusel Alcohols or popcorn flavors. 3. I cold crash with gelatin to help knock down the floating bits. (boil a volume of clean water, add 1 gram per gallon of beer in the fermenter, stir off of the heat. Cover to maintain sterility while it cools a bit) Add to 68° beer in the fermenter. Wait 6 hours, then cold crash to 38° or lower. Wait a week. Then keg.

perfect for what I wanted and needed

Just what I wanted

Been using this yeast for a few years, its the best yeast that I have found to work flawlessly in my distallation hobbies. Keep it refrigerated and you cant go wrong

I purchased this for my many brewing projects, There is lots of yeast to complete many projects, I proofed the yeast before casting and it is very active! Next batch is working and I will order more shortly, my first order came fast and we got going with it as soonas we got. Cheers!

Just as described

makes other yeast cry

This yeast is great distilling yeast. Perfect for your whisky’s, rums and things of that nature. However if you are making a simple sugar wash or quick neutral vodka. I would definitely save yourself a TON of money and buy a simple high quality bakers yeast which will produce the same exact result for a much lower price.

La levure ne réagit pas du tout Très déçu du produit, de plus c'est bien de mettre un commentaire pour protéger les autres personnes afin de ne pas l'acheter, mais moi qui a acheter cette levure qui ne réagit aucunement je dois être rembourser par Amazon a qui je payes un abonnement mensuel.
