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%.

Q: What is to cold for the red star DADY to work, I know it should be below 90f thanks for any help you can offer.

Asked by: Dave - 4/6/2019

A: This would work best in the 80-90 range. It can ferment in the 70's but will begin to be more sluggish and run the possibility of a stall the further we go below 80

Q: Will this yeast stop and die off at 15% abv causing the ferment to get stuck with remaining sugar ?

Asked by: Judd Colby - 3/12/2019

A: the yeast will not "die off" per say but will go dormant as it has a alcohol tolerance in solution of about 15% for the max this can produce

Q: Is this yeast safe for people with nut and wheat allergies?

Answer provided by: Aaron (11/15/2017)

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.
