## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Use RED for most baking, GOLD for low moisture.
*by S***T on January 7, 2018*

Some people assume "GOLD" is better than "RED" - it's not! They are both high-quality yeast, but just designed for different uses. Gold performs better with less liquid.I bake a lot of bread and after a lot of experimentation I now only use SAF. The SAF-RED is the go-to yeast for most baking, however for low-hydration dough (for example a 50% or more whole wheat) the SAF-GOLD is a better choice as it performs better with less-moisture dough.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good yeast Very affordable
*by T***Y on November 26, 2016*

It is a dry yeast that works.  It dissolved well.  I prefer to use liquid no hotter than 112F (44 to 45C).  The gold variety performs better in sweet doughs, but is also excellent in traditional and rich doughs (you do not need to add extra like you do for red yeast in sweet doughs).  For longevity, once you open the package, place a month's worth of yeast is a dark glass jar & store in your refrigerator.  Leave the rest in it's original package & then tightly in three or four layers of plastic wrap.  Store this in the freezer.  Bring the yeast to room temperature before using - about 30 mintues from the refrigerator & 45 mintues from the freezer.  I have used this method for years, and successfully useed yeast that was 6 months past it's use by date when I removed it from the freezer - with no loss of leavening.  [NB:  This package is the equivalent of 64 packets of yeast.  They are 1/4 ounce each & this is a full pound.]

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best way to buy yeast bar none.
*by A***R on April 6, 2018*

It's yeast. It's cheap and it always works in my bread machine. Don't buy packets, but this brick and decant it into three clean dry jam jars. Put two into the freezer and put the other one in the fridge. They will last pretty much for ever and teaspoon out of the fridge jar. It makes the yeast so cheap it's hard to calculate how much the yeast costs per loaf.
