Can this item be substituted as brewers yeast?

NO, this is often used as a cheese substitute. While brewer's yeast is often a brewer byproduct this isn't but cannot be used to make bread.

According to nowfoods.com that's exactly what this is, Brewer's Yeast. http://www.nowfoods.com/Nutritonal-Yeast-10oz.htm

NO. This is a primary grown yeast is not used to make bread. This is a nutritional flavoring. Whereas a Brewery by-product is what makes up a Brewer's Yeast.

Contrary to an earlier answer, the NOW website specifically says this is not brewer's yeast.

Yes, the Paneangeli Mastro Fornaio Yeast can be used in the same fashion as the Fleischmann's Pizza Yeast.

Yes you can, this was the purpose we purchased it for as a matter of fact. We use it for both mead and beer making.

Yes. This will work just fine in a bread machine. There is no need (no pun intended) to proof the yeast first. Just add the amount required for your recipe to the flour mixture and you're all set.

This product IS NOT FOR BREWING BEER! The label says not to confuse it with "brewers type yeast." It is a nutritional supplement.

No. Instant yeast is similar to active dry yeast, except for it is more "alive", which means you can mix it directly with dry ingredients instead of having to soak it in warm water before use. If you're substituting instant yeast in a recipe that calls for active dry yeast, reduce the amount by 25% and mix it directly with dry ingredients.Edited to add: I do highly recommend this yeast, though. I use it all the time and keep it in a Ziploc bag in the freezer between uses, and it stays active for 2 years, easily. Probably much longer than that.

There is a manufature date on the box. But I'm sure the kit is ok but make shure that the yeast packet is not outdated I would recommend using a new packet of yeast.

There are two types of brewers yeast. Brewers Yeast (derived from the fermentation of beer) and Nutritional Brewers Yeast (derived from molasses). Brewers Yeast contains chromium while Nutritional Brewers Yeast (like Solgar) does not. A special note to vegetarians. Although neither yeasts contain vitamin B-12, Nutritional Brewers Yeast almost always has it added. Also, a previous comment states that debittered brewers yeast does not contain chromium, yet I have seen debittered brewers yeast with chromium.

Yes, you can reuse it for fermenting. Just wash it well, and you are ready to go.

Yes, we add yeast when making bread. It seems to rise well, but loses height some after cooling

If the beer is already carbonated then just fill it. If you brew it yourself and have active yeast present then you would add sugar

No, it contains brewers yeast, fish oil, sunflower oil, and a few other minor ingredients.

Yeast is necessary. I have added several additional seeds and it works well . I add a couple of drops of honey, sesame poppy, Chia, Sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Good luck and enjoy!

I use bread machine yeast. It comes in a small jar and I use about a teaspoon more than the recipes call for.

As far as I know this will not work in the Mr. Beer kit which uses a liquid pre-made wort mixture. The above should be used in conjunction with the Brooklyn beer kit, which involves real brewing.

Marvin, I am not sure exactly what you mean. Compared to regular Brewers' Yeast which is a by product of the brewing process, this is not. I can only say that it has a much milder taste than the other. I do know that regular Brewers' Yeast is supposed to be an excellent source of Chromium and B vitamins per Paavo Airola and Dr. Weil.

Not exactly; however, I have used this yeast many many times in my breadmaker, and I have had fabulous results with it. I simply store it in a glass jar and it lasts just as it should.
