5.0 out of 5 stars Works for bread
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2020
With the pandemic coming, people bought out the flour and yeast at the supermarkets so I was thinking Navaho bread here I come until I thought hey I have used beer yeast for pizza crust (sanofi 05 to be exact), let’s try wine yeast. And I made some of the most awesome bagels and pizza crusts I have manufactured. I didn’t even need to add brown sugar or sweetener. Crust had a perfect texture. Maybe a bit crunchy. Kind of dry as per the yeast profile. But it was great finding this item and not sure I can go back to the other brands. Also the aroma is exquisite when I proof it in 1/2 cup water at 100F, and a lot of the yeasts they sell for bread have this funky odor. I have to note that the bread from this does not cause intoxication. For two cups flour, use one packet and use two packets for more than two cups for a good dough rise. Worked just like active yeast. Sorry wine makers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Looks to be an Excellent Choice
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2016
So far so good. Pitched this yeast on Monday AM and had significant fermentation started (bubbles in the airlock) within a few hours - far faster than I have seen previously. In 24 hours it was practically blowing water out the top of the airlock. I have not seen so much activity. I am new and this is only my third batch but this appears to be an excellent choice for home wine making. I will check the SG in 2 more days and see where I am. Good yeast, good expiration dates - bought late August 2016 good until December 2017. I have yet to trust the yeast that comes in a kit, too long stored at room temperature and to risk a failure for a few pennies worth of yeast makes no sense. Looking forward to a lot of good wine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quickly started and worked well until they met their alcohol tolerance

I made my very first batch of cider (actually Apple wine) not long ago. This stuff worked very well. I used a whole packet for a gallon of Simply Apple that I had loaded with 4 pounds of sugar. Yeast activity was evident within about 4 hours at room temperature. The carboys were bubbling rapidly within 24 hours.

Start to finish, this ate up all the sugar and stood all the alcohol content they could take, then died after 6 weeks. After some clarifying agents, the cider was very clear, sweet and tasted very much like strongly-spiked apple juice. I've given a bunch of samples to friends and coworkers, and have gotten rave reviews. I will definitely get more of these when I run out of packets.

Product is great for home brew wine. I use sumtimes daily making my own and has always fermented and is done on time. Also this is one of the least expensive wine yeast I have found. Works so good, I see no need to chance another brand. High AL content in finished product... I use on several types of juice with no problems also I doesn't over foam. Very nice product

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Quality: Hasn't Disappointed for Years

I know what I'm doing. I've never had any issues starting fermentation with this brand. Always has worked and I've used them throughout many years! I haven't had a reason to look elsewhere, and hopefully that day never comes.

I don't know if others are buying the same product as me, but I'm buying from Ohio Brew.

Never had a bad batch with this. Bad batches have nothing to do with yeast, everything to do with workmanship.

5.0 out of 5 stars I did not look like it was doing anything
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2017
I mixed it up in warm water and let it stand for an hour. I did not look like it was doing anything, but it added it to the wine fixings anyway. the next morning, (8 hours later) I thought it was not working because i did not see any foaming up. I had read quite a few reviews about people receiving dead yeast, so I thought I also got bitten. I was about to dump it and leave a bad review when the surface of the wine caught the light just the right way, and it looked sparkly. When I looked more closely with a flash light, it is actually bubbling all over with super tiny bubbles, it is just not generating any foam. Checked the airlock, and its bubbling too. Very slowly, but it's going. So, it's working!

7/2017 Started a batch of hard cider a few days ago. Took the yeast packet out of the fridge, added 3/4 cup sugar to a gallon of apple juice, threw the dry yeast right in and shook it up. It was bubbling within 4 hours.

I make all kinds of fruit wines. I prefer this one for its high alcohol tolerance. A package size of ten and its cost makes it a very good value.
