Hi There,

First off, I'm sorry for asking this question here, I'm sure it's noob 101 but i honestly couldn't find the answer in the novice stickies...

If a recipe calls for fresh bakers yeast, like Birdwatchers recipe, do i adjust for dried yeast?

Could the answer be added to the novice section as well?


Many thanks
Nick

Think i answered my own question...
Found this in a few places on the net, this one was aimed at baking, but i assume it to be the same...
Any thoughts?

Fresh Yeast 3g
Dry Yeast 1.5g
Quick Yeast 1g

It's ok.
But it's not 100% the same, because speaking about fermenting, yeast also acts as nutrients. This is a little plus for fresh yeast, which has more dead yeast (=nutrients), which is useless for baking. But as I told you in your welcome post, the exact amount of yeast is not crucial.
I currently use more yeast than at the beginning of my homedistilling career.
