Question Yeast!

Now I know this has been discussed before & I've done a wee search but haven't found it so far, so I thought I would ask again.

I just fancy making some bread and yeast based products (chelsea buns, rum babas etc.) & I've not been able to find fresh yeast in the shops. The dried stuff comes with either a red top or a yellow top & I vaguely remember the merits of each being discussed on here.

Can I have some input please? Does anyone else do dried yeast other than Edmonds as I'm not impressed with some of their products.

Thanks muchly

We find the red capped one by far the best

You may get varying results depending on where you buy it. We have bought 3 from different Countdown supermarkets & all have been no good!!! (not rising properly) but every one we have bought from New World have been fine
Must be something to do with how it is stored before it reaches the shelf.

Merci buckets. I shall get the red top next time I'm at a New World. Certainly must be something to do with the storage.
