Food for thought and a question for distillers who use Bakers Yeast

Post by Saltbush Bill »

Some food for thought , Ive made this recipe many many times, it uses normal everyday bakers yeast, in this country that usually means "Lowans Yeast" cause that's whats mostly in the supermarkets.

Fwiw this recipe makes a great focaccia, please have a go at it.....super simple and very tasty....especially if you top before baking with a few anchovies, black olives , bits of capsicum or what ever else takes your fancy.
Twisted B this would go great in you Pizza Oven at the right temp.
The question is , why do we as distillers place so much importance on keeping a wash warm if its a wash that contains bakers yeast, when the same yeast can obviously do its job very nicely in a refrigerator when making this recipe?
Is it possible that we could run washes at lower temps , they would just be slower...............it never really gets cold enough here were I am that I have issues with temperature to the point where they interfere with fermentation..
