Fleischmanns slower ?

[Smokey hollow]

I ran out of red star so I grabbed a packet of fleischmanns for my reg run of corn meal and sugar . I heat everything up to get it jump started and usually i get it bubbling an hr or so later but its not bubbling yet and been 6-7 hrs . Could i have got it to hot , or is it just a little slower ? Thanks guys , smokey

[dieselduo]

you probably got it too hot if it hasn't started yet. Try re-pitching now

[Smokey hollow]

I can look it up but fig ya might help me out real quick. Re-pitching ??

[Smokey hollow]

I found it buddy , thanks alot I thought of doing that but fig I would ask first . I might wait till tomorrow and throw some redstar in it . Thanks again

I never have washes take more than 15 minutes to start working, whether dry pitching or mixing up a starter... I am still using Fleischmanns yeast that has been kept in the freezer in a mason jar for over two years...

hey Rad, would this yeast be safe to keep in the freezer?? This stuff only has a two week shelf life, if i could keep in the freezer would nice...

Only dry active yeast will survive freezing... Yeast cakes will survive refrigeration but not freezing because the wet cells will rupture when frozen...

Edited to add:

Baker's Select Yeast (2117) is a special strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, chosen and cultivated for uniformity, rapid activity and enhanced stability in all yeast leavened bakery applications. Baker's Select Yeast (2117) is designed for all yeast raised products such as bread, buns, rolls, croissants, Danish, bread sticks, pretzels, and pizza.

It's a rapid rise dry active... That two week window is for the rapid rise feature... The yeast won't die after two weeks, just progressively lose the rapid rise ability... Yet it will still function like dry active yeast...

Had a feeling.. this stuff is cheap. thanks for quick reply. cheers

I buy Fleischmann ADY by the brick and keep it in the fridge. Over the course of a little more than a year I finally used it up. Never had a single problem with it. I have heard of some guys having it survive even after accidentally pitching at mash Temps.

This is first gen or did you add backset? Could also be pH.

How hot did you get it before pitching the yeast? Fleishmanns will take temps over 100 f. I usually pitch it at 95 and it always takes right off. As Rad stated it should be up and bubbling in 15 minutes. If it is 85 degrees or above I would pitch some more now. It really
is great stuff.

[rad14701]

I pitch Fleischmanns anywhere between 95F and 115F... When mixing a starter or proofing they recommend 115F...

[Smokey hollow]

Well i got it hotter than i wanted to . Hotter than i ever have before do to helping my kids out while i was warming up the water im not sure about the temp but i do know it was barely steaming when i poured it in the bucket . I just got it to hot .

Hope you had more yeast to pitch, if you didn't.
Mother nature has pitched some wild yeast for you by now

So i cant add no red star today ? Or u saying its going to be a bad batch buddy ?

Just repitch already. Throw the Red Star in there and see what happens. Only some of this is rocket science.

Make up a good starter and pitch. Making a go starter will help get it going faster and help overcome any infection or wild strains. Although nothing wrong with some wild strains...but it's a crap shoot if ya get a good one or not.

The yeast you "cooked" will make so good nutrients for the red star
Sams Club sells 2 pounds of bakers yeast for $6

I know this is an old thread but how many packets of bread yeast do y'all pitch in a 10 gallon mash

[Shine0n]

I buy 2 lbs at the time so I can't say certain measurements in grams but 2 teaspoons leveled and properly rehydraded should do the trick.

Just make sure to have an og not off the charts and keep the temp above 80f and it should do you fine.

I'm sure that I over pitch, but I do 3 Gm / Gal. I'd guess that 2 Gm / Gal would be just fine.

Two packets.
