Is there a long 'use by' date on the tin please. I find yeast goes off quick. I only bake one loaf a week and was wondering how long this would last.
Is it suitable for bread machines
Are any corn products used in the preparation of this yeast? If its granulated is corn used to stop it clagging together?

Excellent yeast for great results!
I have been baking bread for a long time, but have found that the results can be quite variable, due to the fickle nature of common commercially available yeast.This yeast is absolutely superb! When activating the yeast, it has a strong, yeasty smell initially, but once the bread is baked, this is no longer an issue. I add warm water (30-40 C) and a teaspoon of sugar to the dried yeast and let it stand for 15 min, stirring once or twice. Lots of bubbles are forming, which indicates the yeast is alive and working! I also let the bread rise for 2-3h on a warm place and bake in a dutch oven for best results.Since using this yeast, I always get great results, the breads rise properly and are light in nature, not dense like they used to be. I also store the yeast in a cool dry place, as storing it in a warm environment would make it less effective over time. I can very much recommend this yeast, as it delivers consistently great results.

long lasting, really does the job!
makes great pizza bases! 2 teaspoons of this with a teaspoon of sugar, into half cup of water for 20 mins, then mix with 1lb ish of flour and a little rapeseed oil, half teaspoon of big salt and another half cup ish of water .. kneed it in a silicon mixing bag to stop mess, let it rest in the warm for an hr,..then use it or put in fridge and use next day. makes 5 bases ..i then personally give them 1.5 mins in super hot oven,(on a stone or steel is best) and then top them and freeze in clingfilm with a cardboard base...can then cook for 9 to 10 mins from frozen on top oven heat (pre heated). better than anything pre bought in the shops.. and rivals a good pizza restaurant. once the tin is open will last couple months.

Functional Yeast
I've been making bread every week for a few years, this is a switch from the 'easy bake' variety I had previously been using, and I always used honey - this yeast is not as happy with honey, but when I add a spoon of Muscovado Sugar in addition to the honey, the yeast does much better although it's quite variable. I remember the yeast making a foamy 'head' on the water when I first bought it, now there are only a few bubbles but the bread rises well.The yeast and honey or sugar must be activated together beforehand in warm water (there are instructions on the tin) and it seems 40 degrees centigrade is right, I have gone a bit over to 50 and unfortunately the bread didn't rise at all due to perhaps dead yeast.When warming up and cooking there is also a strong yeast smell that you may like, I prefer it less to other yeasts in terms of smell and would probably not use this yeast again although it does a fine job otherwise and is very good value - I have enough for 18 months now in this large tin and overall it's good stuff and tinned yeast is supposed to live for 2 years.

Expect Great Results!
Minimum product spend is three, but it's worth it if you are a keen baker.I needed some new yeast as my Allinson brand was lacking in power.. This yeast had me totally stumped! The rising power easily triples your dough and smells amazing. Not to mention the taste, just yum! Made a pizza dough and it rose beautifully, and was also the best one I've made. Simply delicious.Also comes with a handy resealable plastic lid after you open the tin! Keep it in the fridge after opening.

I don’t buy any other yeast anymore!
For all my loafs, bagels, breadsticks this is my go to yeast. I actually put off buying yeast when I don’t have this. I’ve been buying this for years, I’ve never had a problem with it going off or not rising. That being said, I do keep it in the freezer. Then dissolve it in warm water straight from the freezer.Wether I’m doing sweet or savoury bakes, this yeast has always worked.Amazon need to get it back in stock, although I did find another supplier, a bakers supply store online (in the uk).

Great yeast
Love this yeast. I bake bread every day. Have done for 20 or so years now. Sometimes yiu will get the tin with a shorter date, they buy in big batches and it depends on how long it takes them to sell it Al, but even a 4 or 5 month is not a problem. If yiu are not going to use it all - bag it and freeze it and just get out how much you want to use. By freezing it, you increase its shelf life astronomically.Great flavour, great rising,
