Questions and Answers
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%.

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.

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:
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

A:
This yeast is a Dry Active distillers strain. While it can technically be used for fermenting wine, would be best to use another strain like EC-1118 or KV-1116 bread more specifically for wine fermentation

Q:
What happens if I add more sugar after the yeast stops bubbling? I’ve read about yeast stress and don’t want that to happen. I also see that y’all have mentioned that this yeast goes dormant at 15% alcohol? Does this mean that when my gallon hits 15% Alcohol content it will stop fermenting even if I add more cane sugar? Or will it keep going beyond 15% if I add fermentable sugar?
Asked by:
Toni
- 4/12/2020
A:
more sugar can be added after fermentation beings but would run more risk of stalling the yeast the closer to the 15% ABV tolerance the yeast has. The yeast would not be able to ferment past 15%

Q:
If I use just a pinch of this yeast in 3 gallons of cider, will it ferment without killing all of the flavor? By a “pinch” I mean significantly less than required. I bought this before understanding that it isn’t meant for what I’m making.
Asked by:
Toni
- 4/4/2020
A:
the yeast will ferment out more sugars than other strains that may be geared towards cider production. Reduced sugar and some loss of flavor can be xpected but would not be completely removed by the yeast in this case

Q:
Can this yeast go dormant if there is too low or too high ph? How about if there is too much sugar? I’m talking over 1 cup of granulated cane cane sugar in a liter of liquid- which I’ve been told is too much. I also have lemon ferment I would like to add this yeast to, which is below 3.5 ph
Asked by:
Toni
- 4/4/2020
A:
distillers yeast performs best in the range of 4-5 for the pH level. If the pH does get a bit too high this can have an effect on the yeast that would stall during fermenting. High sugar levels can post this issue as well, but is less of a concern with the distillers strains

A:
the addition of nutrients would be helpful but not a 1005 requirement for the yeast to function. DAP or Diammonium phosphate would be the best choice

Q:
First time using the yeast , does it not break down and desolve ? All my other ones do when I mix them , the yeast is sitting on top of my mash ??
Asked by:
Stephen Zwack
- 3/13/2020
A:
The yeast will break down and re-hydrate as it makes contact with water in the mash or wash. Stirring the yeast with a sanitized spoon or paddle can help speed this process up
