We start by grinding the grain fresh every day (except for the white breads). We mix this flour with water to make a starter. This starter stands for 8 to 10 hours, depending on the weather, during which time it begins to culture. It is then mixed with more flour, water, and salt, and made into a bread dough.

Many people believe that yeast can aggravate allergies. It is also thought that yeast-free, naturally leavened bread like ours is good for those with candida, which is an overgrowth of yeast in the digestive tract. Additionally, this is the way bread used to be made. The farmer grew organic grain, sold it to the baker, who ground it into flour and made it into bread using only water and salt.

The Wyeast package recommends making a 1.020 SG wort and pitching the active contents of the package into a sanitized bottle with an airlock to allow the quantity of active yeast cells to build up before pitching into a typical 5 gallon batch of wort. This "starter" wort is usually made from dry malt extract boiled with water at the rate of 2 tablespoons per 8 oz. cup of water. Some brewers like to throw in a couple of hop cones or pellets for their antiseptic qualities.

Probably not, since most bread machines depend on the more predictable rising schedule of commercial yeast. However, your bread machine is an excellent way to mix and knead the dough. A friendly reminder: Sourdough is a closed email topic. These are general baking issues rather than issues with sourdough, specifically; consult your favorite book on bread-bakery (or consult a baker friend who can visit your kitchen and see what you're doing and recommend changes).

Yes, small bread recipes and yeast cakes can be made in a processor using the dough blade. For best results, closely follow the instructions provided in your processor's use and care guide.

This mix sits at a very competitive price because it does not contain yeast. It is more cost effective to purchase a bulk pack of yeast separately.

The yeast packet is enclosed with each package of bread mix. For bread machines, just empty package in machine with other ingredients, and run in basic or normal mode. For food processor, dissolve yeast in 105 to 115 degree water.

Tip Top® Kitchen Collection® do not currently make a Crusty bread mix, however you can try selecting the dark crust colour setting, or prolong the baking time by 10 minutes to achieve a crusty loaf.

A yeast infection is not considered a sexually transmitted infection. It is caused when certain internal or external factors change the normal environment of the vagina and trigger an overgrowth of microscopic fungi called Candida albicans. These are the most likely fungi to cause yeast infections as well as infections in other moist areas of the body, such as the mouth (thrush), skin folds and fingernail beds.

It is likely that too little liquid was added to your dough. During bread making one adds liquid to the yeast to stimulate its production of CO2 allowing the dough to rise. If too little liquid is added the yeast cannot produce enough gluten, causing the loaf to be too small and dense.

Historically, it has been estimated that there are roughly 6000 total genes in the yeast genome, of which 5885 were estimated to encode proteins. These estimates were based on the sequencing of the yeast genome (see Mewes et al. and Goffeau et al.). The addition of 354 previously unannotated ORFs, based on published information from various sources including: Brachat et al., Kessler et al., Kumar et al., and Oshiro et al.. To see the complete list of the new ORFs, click here.

We supply yeast cultures on slants, but do not have the facilities to build up liquid cultures of yeast. However, we now carry the Williams-Selyem yeast in a concentrated liquid culture suitable for inoculating 200 gallons of must or juice.

Yeasts are single-celled fungi, a few species of which are commonly used to leaven bread, ferment alcoholic beverages. A few yeasts, such as Candida albicans, can cause infection in humans.

If your child has had a yeast infection washing your diapers in hot water and using a few drops of tea tree oil should treat the diapers.
