Hello All.  This is my first post to this list!

Regarding how to handle bulk yeast:  I have had ZERO problems just putting
it in good Tupperware and storing it in the freezer.  I used to bring it to
room temperature but I found that it makes no difference so I just started
using it straight from the freezer.  I throw it out after a year even though
it still works as well as the first day!!

I have a question about the Sam's Club yeast.  I always bought the Red Star
Active Dry from Sam's and the Red Star "INSTANT" active dry from Price
Costco (or vice-versa).  The INSTANT in the name just means "fast rise"
which I need from time to time.  Now that Sam's has switched to the
Fleishmans I can't tell which it is closer to;  the Red Star Active or Red
Star INSTANT active???  Or is it somewhere in between?

Thanks,

Glenn.
