Title: Dried Yeast, which brand do you prefer?
Post by: Halex on November 09, 2012, 10:17:08 am

I use the Tandco brand, sachets in a box. Works well for me but not cheap. About $4.60 for 10 sachets.
Today I saw loose dried in a burgundy tube, so much cheaper, thinking might try some & see how it goes. This was really cheap per 100g.

I started with the sachets, but I,ve got a burgundy tube of Lowan yeast in the fridge which I M half way through. It seems to work just as we'll as the sachets  :)

I  know >:(
I'm too scared to add up my receipts. I've run low on meat, so having been buying some every week. My cupboards still seem full too. Maybe next week ill try a little harder as I've now stocked up on a few things like bread flour and vanilla paste. :-\

I think ES is right Hally, it must have been the Lowan Instant Dried Yeast you saw. I use that and it always works well :D

I used Lowan brand in the burgandy tub too - kept in the fridge.... always worked well.
 But...
my mum has spoilt me recently and has been sending me some different stuff from NZ, and oh.my.goodness.....it is great. Froths and rises like I have never seen before.
The brand is 'Tulip'  :D
