Red Star DADY Yeast 1 lb.

DADY (Distillers Active Dry Yeast) is a specially selected strain of Saccharomyces Cerevisae designed for distillers use in grain mash fermentations for ethanol. DADY will produce maximum alcohol yields under controlled temperatures (less than 90°F/32°C). It has been the choice of many producers in North America for over 20 years. DADY has been used in the manufacture of light spirits and Whiskeys. It is also used on corn mash and syrup fermentations. DADY is recommended for ABV productions lower than 15%.

Best I've purchased

A very lively batch of yeast! Put in some starter water with a bit of honey and - WOW! This batch took off like CRAZY! Best I've ever bought!

The real thing

Excellent results from this genuine product, unlike the knock-off Amazon is selling (picturing this product, but shipping the counterfeit) that did not work. Would buy again.

Red Star Daddy Yeast

Great for baking too

I was desperate to find some yeast during the covid 19 quarantine. I finally found this and ordered it, not realizing it was meant for brewing. I don't drink alcohol, so I will never use this yeast for brewing. I used it to make bread. It did take a little bit longer for the yeast to ferment with sugar and water, but the bread turned out just as well as if I'd used regular instant dry yeast.

Works Great. Really quick ferments.

The Best

Red Star Dady allows me to use 13.5 percent SG wort and have the yeast take the Sugar to 0 or below in 6 days every time. Once you have your nutriment recipe perfected it works every time.

Q: Can this product be used to make Mead or should I use something different, and if so what would you recommend?

Asked by: Shane Cropp - 9/19/2021

A: this would ferment a mead but works best as a distillers yeast. Using winemaking strains for mead is best like K1v-1116 or Ec-1118

Q: 50 pds of corn to 50 pds of sugar and the rest is water in a 55 gallon drum. I put my yeast and it ferments hard but after the third day, it quits. What could be the problem?

Asked by: John - 8/24/2021

A: as the yeast converts sugar the amount of activity we see will drop. It is entirely possible for the yeast to convert most of the sugars in 48 hours and may just be on the backend of finishing fermenting where there is less activity

Q: I started with a sugar wash with specific gravity of 1.09 approx. The brew was bubbling and producing CO2 for the first week and then started to slow down. After 2 weeks the specific gravity dropped to 1.042 and I did not see any more bubbles. I added more distillers yeast but still no activity. Based on my calculation I have about 6%. I was hoping for 10%+ alcohol content. I tasted the brew and it was still sweet. How can I add more yeast to continue the fermentation and what did I do wrong initially. Thanks

Asked by: bobzi - 7/25/2021

A: if the mash has stalled you can try adding addition oxygen through vigorous stirring of the mash. If you have any yeast nutrient available you can add an addition of that as well before pitching more yeast. IF the current yeast is stalling we need to get the fermentation environment correct for it to continue otherwise we can add alot more yeast and still run into the same issue

Q: I like to make sugar wash. For every 5 Gallon of water how much sugar and distiller yeast do I need? How long do I need to allow for fermentation? What is the estimated % alcohol of finished product? Thanks

Asked by: Bobzi - 7/24/2021

A: The ratio to use for adding this yeast to the wort is about an 1/8 to ¼ tsp of yeast per gallon of wort. or mash. the maximum ABV would be at 15% the starting gravity in this case would be around 1.111 for the starting gravity

Q: Does the Red Star Dady Distillers active Dry Yeast contain gluco-amylase enzyme in it. The DME Whiskey ingredients list I'm using calls for Whiskey yeast with gluco-amylase enzyme in it. and would the red star dady yeast I have work ok without adding the amylase?

Asked by: Victor Moree - 11/4/2020

A: The yeast does not have added enzyme but will ferment on its own without it added. Depending on the grains being mashed, the added enzyme may help the process along

Q: Can I remash when using this product? Would any additional yeast need to be added to the next round of mash?

Asked by: Heather Beck - 10/2/2020

A: The yeast slurry could potentially be reused or repitched with a fresh batch on a new generation of product. Adding a tablespoon or two of additional yeast to limit stalls would not hurt
