Fresh Yeast vs Dry Yeast - conversions

[goldfish]

Thanks for the tip, Frozzie... Wouldn't have thought about that...in this heat especially will take a cooler bag and brick.  How long do you think it lasts in the fridge ?

I use mine fairly quickly but depending how its wrapped.. Id say a couple of weeks if its well sealed but if ou dont think you will useit you can freeze it in 20g portions... I just keep mine in the fridge and use it when needed..mine is just in a knotted bag from the bakery (plastic)

I love fresh yeast but find it very hard to get. I used to have a health food shop nearby that stocked it but they have stopped. Most of my bread is made with dry yeast.
