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%.

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 I use this DADY with a sugar wash (no grain)? do I need to add a nutrient?

Asked by: Marty - 1/17/2018

A: Nutrient is always a benefit to help limit lag or stalling of the yeast. It can be used with a stirght suagr wash or with a wash produced from grains as well

Q: Trying this yeast for first time on a Rum batch -- it's moving VERY slowly! in 5 days it's only dropped from 1.1 to 1.085. The temp has been stable at 85F in a clean, controlled environment. What is the expected fermentation time for this yeast to get down closer to 1.0? If nutrient is "required" for this yeast, what type and how much is recommended?

Asked by: jp - 5/31/2017

A: This typically does ferment out a bit faster on a 5-6 gallon wash. Nutrient would help out. Go Ferm is a great product to use on stuck and sluggish fermentaions. It is pricey but gets the job done-Item#772-15161A

Q: can I use this for beer ferment, I have good luck w/ Red Star Monchecete? Looks like I must keep wort 86-89 degrees.

Asked by: duke - 5/16/2017

A: This is a distillers strain so the batch will ferment down much lower in Final gravity than a brewers strain. That being said it can be used for beer, just with the obvious flavor profile and fermentation temp differences

Q: Does this yeast need nutrient or energizer?

Asked by: Brian - 6/16/2016

A: This will depend on what you are using the yeast for. This is always optional, but if you are using this for a high gravity it would be recommended to use a nutrient or energizer.

Q: Can you tell me more about the yeast?

Asked by: Frank - 1/29/2014

A: This yeast is designed for distiller's use in grain mash fermentations. It has an optimum fermentation temp of 86-89.6 F. This yeast is designed for fermentations with a targed ABV of under 15%, so it is not as tolerant as the Lalvin 1118.
