I have this product myself, but how high of an alcohol tollerance does this yeast have?

i am getting over 15 with no nutrients added to tap water....with nutrients up to 20 should be attainable.

Yeast tends to have a musty aroma. It is a little cardboardy in taste. Keep in mind that this product has good nutritional value, at least, I do. :D

It's the same thing you see marketed in the local stores as bread machine yeast. That's the main thing I use it for and I first bought here on Amazon when I could only find it locally in the little envelopes. I do like it better. I think it gives a more consistent rise and it's way more economical.

I would highly recommend changing the yeast you're using. This sounds like missing or dead yeast in the recipe...

Tea, SCOBY, cover. That will get you there. It may also get you mold and an inferior product. I found that out myself. Like anything else, you reap what you sow and cutting corners where cleanliness is concerned is a horrible idea where fermentation is involved. If you follow all the instructions you should get a a good product. I find storage temperature greatly effects carbonation. High means more due to yeast production. Good luck however you choose to proceed.

I never thought about it before, but I have always added the regular amount of yeast that I always have, but the dough raises much higher and faster, so beware if you are using a bread machine, it might raise out of your pan. Hope this answers your question.

I don't exactly know the answer, but I will say that this is not "active" yeast like you would use to bake bread. Almost 100% positive that that means no, it won't ferment apple juice, or anything else.

Check the MSDS - it says this has 85% to 90% ethanol. Wabe is incorrect; NOT all denatured alcohols are the same nor are there any standards (see http://www.shellac.net/alcohol.html). Since I'm interested in a shellac solvent, I checked other brands MSDS's: Regular Klean Strip 42.5% to 46.5% CSD/Startex 65% to 75% Crown 70% to 75% Behkol (sold as a shellac solvent for woodworkers) 70% to 100%

Used mine up already. Looks like from the answers below it does contain alcohol.

I would take a warm wet cloth and put it over the strip if it dose not read then you may have a bad strip mine is always in the 70 degrees range depending on how active your fermentation is. Hope this helps good luck

I can't tell a difference between this and the store brand yeast I used to buy! Maybe it is your specific batch?

This is not a yeast in and of itself, rather it is a nutrient supplement to help ensure maximum yeast health. I believe it contains diammonium phosphate, dipotassium phosphate, magnesium sulfate and autolyzed yeast - all compounds which active, growing yeast use to build strong new cells. I use it especially for starter worts for big beers and in my mead making where I am often pushing yeasts into stressful situations (very high gravity etc). For beers, I add 1 tsp/gal of wort about 10 minutes before end of boil. For starter worts I put it in with my dry malt extract (1/4 tsp/Litre), then boil for 15 minutes in an erlenmeyer flask. For mead I use a staggered nutrient addition process using this and Yeast Energizer (see http://beerandwinejournal.com/staggered-nutrient-additions/) I use this in place of straight DAP in that scenario with good results.

I had no problem with yeast so I have no idea. To be safe do the candidastroy first then wait a couple months and do the parastroy you dont want to over work your body.

Unless the ingredients specifically use the term "yeast", I am not able to identify products that may be derived from yeast. Your best bet is to write or call the manufacturer or distributor.

This is an Italian yeast (seems lighter in rising than original American yeast) however, it does have an added vanilla base. I use it to make Biscotti Di Prato, an Italian twice-baked cookie/bread, and the taste is delicious and have had no problems. I have not used it in other baking items. I am sorry I can't help there.

Someone else asked that question. I guess that is a stinky fermented brew. I can't give you a good answer. It does not seal tight so don't know if you need that. Hope you get an answer.

It is definitely NOT yeast, it's a baking powder-type product that I have used in cakes and quickbreads, such as cornbread, but definitely not for yeast bread applications.
