On a more recent Basic Brewing Radio podcast a guest pointed out that until relatively recently in history, most bread and beer were made with the ...

Apr 27, 2014 · Baker's yeast IS brewer's yeast technically, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The ancestors of those little guys fermented beer (bakers commonly used excess yeast from the local brewery).

Lessafre is the baseline brand for us professionals here in France. I'd definitely use fresh yeast over instant yeast any day of the week.
