Default Re: Yeast Activity

RC,

Do yourself a favor: toss the yeast you have and buy fresh. Bread machine yeast is not what you want. Use either active dry yeast (ADY) or instant dry yeast (IDY). Buy is in one pound, vacuum sealed bricks (MUCH) cheaper. Once opened, transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer. It'll be good for a year treated this way.
