I found some yeast

on line, how do I know if it is useable for distilling?


I know any yeast will work, but some will only give a low abv,

I didn't see a brand other than bakers yeast so I am guessing fermentation would be close to the same temps as Red Star or Flieshmans. You can get Red Star in bulk cheaper than that price at least at Costco.

Not familiar with that yeast.
Try this: http://www.amazon.com/Red-Star-Active-Y ... star+yeast" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow



Do you not have a store near you?

[Monkeyman88]

Yes it will work. It says it's active yeast. No yeast should have any problem getting to the ABV needed for distillation.

[frodo]

oh hell yeah, that is a lot cheaper, I have not looked for yeast in bulk,

till i saw that,

the amazon link is half the price

Round here there is a store called Cash and Carry that has the 2 pound brick for $6.79. Not sure if there us anything like that near you so amazon might be a good option.

I have no idea where. no cash and carry around here.
but, with my bing awards i can get $5.00 off of amazon

I like Bing rewards, they contribute about $100 a year towards my hobby
