Fresh Yeast

[percyveer]

How long will fresh yeast keep in the fridge and is it a good idea to keep it in the fridge? Thanks folks

According to BBC Good Food..... //Keep dried yeast in a cool, dark, dry place, and use within its best before date - beyond this, it may fail to make the bread rise. Fresh yeast is highly perishable and should be kept in the fridge. Use within a maximum of 2 weeks, or within the use by date//

This is your third attempt at obtaining comments from ABers about Yeast, whereas you could have continued with your original posting.

Anyway to answer your question......." Fresh yeast will survive for up to four months in the fridge, though it will lose its potency over time."
