    5.0 out of 5 stars My First Non Brewer's Bread Yeast Purchase Ever and I Picked the Best!!!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2014
    I love this product. It arrived fast and in an extra little baggie. It works so great! With 1/4 of the packet I baked in the bread machine a 2-3 lb loaf of wheat bread and even threw in cream cheese, cabbage slices, green beans, and nothing stops it from rising. No yeast flavor. I've made 3 different breads since I received it already. The Apple juice (hard cider) I fermented was great. Like sparkling wine to me in just 7 days. Around 3% alcohol probably. It was 94 oz from WalMart Great Value. Poured out a couple of oz to make air room. Tossed in less than 1/2 packet. (I think next time I'll use 1/4 packet for that same juice.) Shook it lightly. Turned the cap just a touch to let gasses seep out and put it in a spot that's around 65-70 degrees. Tightened cap and gently moved up and down a couple of times every day for 2 days. That's all. Keep that lid just unscrewed a hair and let sit for 6 days total. I saw this on the green guy's youtube-how to make hard apple cider. He poured it just about to the very top in plastic recycled soda bottles or whatever plastic and screwed caps on fast to keep bubbles moving. Let sit in same type of temp or a bit warmer for a day or two to let the bottles get a little hard from the bubbles expanding like from the store new. Pop in refrigerator for a day to chill and stop any fermentation at all. When the lid comes off you'll hear the little air noise like on a beer it really has a nice sparkling wine taste with the bubbles too. This is the best yeast!!!! No yeast flavor. I even used some left over sediment for a bread recipe for fun- It had an very light essence of the sparking wine flavor in that. I'll try anything safe in the kitchen! :)

    It's good stuff, it was the first yeast I have purchased that smelled good. I know that's an odd thing to say, but it almost smelled like something that had been toasted. Intrigued to find out what it tasted like after fermentation I started a batch of cider. It is now complete (it's not 100% done, but in it's still state I can accurately judge it) there is no yeast flavor added to the brew. My cider is very basic, I don't like it fancy but I also don't like to taste anything other than the cider. With this yeast I got a good batch (5 gal) and can't wait to start the next.

    [tl;dr] This yeast does a good job, and was able to provide about 12% abv in a short time with no off flavors.

    I used it to make 16 gallons of apple wine from home made apple cider and 1.8 lbs/gallon of white granulated sugar. The vessels were kept at about 60 degrees F. and allowed to ferment for about 3 months. The results were excellent. A very clear, medium wine (alcohol 20%+) with a nice apple cidery flavor. You wouldn't want to drink too much though, since the alcohol content is rather high. I will definitely use this yeast again if I make more apple wine.
    Correction: After re-calibrating my refractometer I obtained an alcohol by volume of 17% which seems more in line with what I would have expected.

    Really though, this is a great yeast with kick ass results. High alcohol and good fermentation makes this yeast a good buy and bubbling results. Used for Apple juice, grape concentrate and crushed grapes. They all turned out great. Don't use a whole pack for a gallon. A little goes a long way. One pack will work for 6 gallons easily. Less is more.
    Update: Can leave a yeast taste if you use a whole pack for a gallon. However, for 5 gallons, it made a fantastic mead in 6 weeks. A bit dry... but very potent. I may add more sugar in my next batch. I still have to recommend!!! Try it!!!

    This yeast had no problem getting going very strongly when I sprinkled even a partial packet in a gallon of must. I've used a few packets, and I've got plenty of packets in the fridge waiting to go. I didn't know how yeast would do coming from an Amazon warehouse and being shipped in warm weather, but I had it shipped to Texas in April with no ill effects. It's working great.
