Bruce--
I faced the same dilemma when I ran out of Red Star Instant Active Dry
Yeast.  I decided to try the Fleischmann's and really can't tell any
difference in performance between the two brands, but I've made only 3 or 4
loaves so far with the Fleischmann's.  I keep my yeast frozen in glass jars
after opening the foil package (the unopened foil package is in the freezer
also, protected with a heavy plastic bag).

                        and from the bureaucrats.
