Jean D Lange: Great yeast in a jar so you can measure it out. Red Star is the yeast I grew up using my grandma used Red Star cake yeast to make six loaves per week to feed five
children a farmer husband.

Eric W.: I started using this in the winter during cold weather. The rising was just okay until I changed a few things. 1. heat up the glass bowl before you add the yeast. The warmth and lack of coldness from the glass helps in jump starting the yeast. 2. Add more than warm water, but not hot, to your mix of flour and yeast. This continues the same process. 3. To generate more heat, use a desk lamp and point it directly on the covered bowl of dough. If you do these three things you give the yeast a fighting chance and quicker rise. However, when its warmer outside and the house is no longer cool, you don't really need to do this but I would experiment.

TC: I think this is a good deal less expensive then the packets. For my bread machine, this yeast works well in my low carb bread. The dating was over 1 1/2 years out which is fine. Once opened, in the fridge it should last 3 - 4 months and if kept in the freezer, 5 to 6 months from what I read. Just keep it tightly closed and let the yeast get to room temperature before using in a recipe. I haven't tried a lot of others to know if this is 5 star yeast or not so 4 will have to do.

Amazon Customer: Red Star works great in bread machines, and for more hands-on stuff like homemade pizza dough. As long as you don't kill it by using using water that's too hot, it's pretty much idiot proof. (During the proofing period I mean.)
