Instaferm Yeast in Canada?

Post by dunluce »

Maybe I never noticed this before, but at the Walmart in Red Deer, Canada they are now carrying Instaferm yeast....450g (about 1lb) for about $7 CAD.

Never used it before, hope it works out well, but wanted to pass it on to any Canucks that are looking for some bulk yeast. :mrgreen:

Also got some at a Metro/IGA supermarket in Montreal.
Shit I bought but shouldn't have :
1. Amazon 30L pot distiller
2. T-500 reflux column (good product but expensive)
3. Large 60L stock pot + 2" column

Now using 15.5gal KEG + 5500w electric + fully aircooled reflux condensor and product condenser.

You can also buy Red Star yeast at Costco for 7$ can for a 1K pack at the store ( double the size of the others brands).. or order online for 9$ including shipping cost.. best price available in canada.. not a member, ask a friend to order for you..
