Is this a fresh yeast?

This is a great product and you don't need it to be "fresh" as long as it is sealed up. I open about 1 pound a month and use it all and have never had a problem with it being good and working extremely well and I make fresh bread about 3 times a week. it always works!!

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.

Yes, I mostly ate the bread by myself and only baked about 3 times a month. The yeast comes in an individual packet in the box and it was always fresh.

Yes, it has sorbitan monosterate in it. Now I have to look that up to see what it is. :P I've been using this yeast for years/decades and it is by far the best yeast out there.

I would check to make sure it's not spoiled or out of date? It shouldn't taste sour?

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

Instant Yeast stays fresh for about a year, unopened, I store it in the freezer in a plastic jar, and appear never to have problems. If compared with ACTIVE yeast use 25% less Instant Yeast.In most ways (as far as I can tell) Instant, Quick Rise and Rapid Rise behave in a fairly similar fashion. I have used all in bread making machines, but bread making is more fun when you do it 'by hand'.. I live in fairly dry area which levels the field. Experiment with all yeasts, and flour mixes, and you will get slightly different results. Some you will love, some you will hate. Luckily we are all different.

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.

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.

According to the label, the yeast is primary grown on molasses. They are unsweetened, non-GMO, and naturally low in fat and sodium.

I've only had good results with this yeast. I'm not an expert and I don't know how much you know, so I'll keep it simple. Make sure your water is 105-115 when adding to yeast with sugar to activate. Let dough rise for longer times before baking. Otherwise good product

I forgot to mention that the packets do have a Best used by date..I've never had a fermentation problem as long as I paid attention to the alcohol tolerance of the yeast and my specific gravity / total alcohol target.

no idea.. it threw it away. We had just ordered it from Amazon and used it that week we got it so I am assuming it was fresh.

Nowhere on the bottle does it show yeast. Contains soy is the only other ingredient other than the vitamins and minerals and supplements.

I've NEVER had a problem with this wonderful yeast. I transfer the contents to a plastic, lidded container that lives on the door of my refrigerator for months on end, maybe even as long as a year. I've even kept it in just a ziplock and it's been fine. This stuff doesn't die, unlike that other brand that begins with an F that dies the instant you open it. SAF is reliable, works every time.

It's a big bag of yeast I store a small amount in glass in pantry and the rest in the freezer. I make bread every week and buy yeast in bulk. Hope this answers your question.

Yes it is, it is dried, and rendered inactive. So it will not work to make bread rise, nutritional yeast is high in protein though, and is part of the mushroom family. Often it is used to make a vegetarian of vegan meal healthier, at least as far as I can tell.

You cannot tell if it is fresh or the amount of time it has been on the shelf. That has been a concern of mine too. The cleanser was great, however the moisturizers I also ordered were extra thick and didn't quite seem as fresh. The price is good, but you likely will likely compromise full quality.
