    The Walmart in Parker. I didnt think about the one at chambers. Why yeast when you can grow your own. I have been researching growing my own bread yeast. Has anyone ever done it?

    You can but here is a thought. Active yeast that is mylar vacuumed packed can be stored in the freezer almost forever. The clock does not start until you bring it back to room temp.

    Currently using yeast that is stored in the fridge that I took out of the freezer last year. The 1lb brick I took it from expired in 09. I have 5lbs in the freezer. It is the one item I keep there and so far from mine and others testing once I take it out of the freezer it will be good for at least 2 years.
    I see you running, tell me what your running from

    Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.

    Can you buy Yeast that way or do I have to place yeast in Mylar bag and then place in vacuum sealer bag then seal? and if so do I use O2 absorber in bag?

    1lb bricks of yeast, already in mylar, readily available at Sams Club and other large container sellers. I do the same as jerrymrc, keep a few in the deep freezer.

    I use dried wine and brewer's yeast sold in individual packets that I put in vacuum sealed bags with an O2 absorber then tossed in the freezer. I also used the same process with hop pellets and have larger sealed bags of malted barley packed away with dried malt extract in kits for different beers. I'm guessing the same could be done with baker's yeast sold as active dry yeast in little packets too.

    Spoke to a Manger at the Walmart in Parker yesterday so stated he heard the emergency preparedness center items are selling well in the Walmart in Elizabeth and other Walmarts around the country and they are probably going to start carrying the stuff along with other walmarts in Colorado. So everyone needs to keep requesting the items from there local Walmarts

    The prices were actually good they are carrying a ton of the Augason Farms stuff. They had 30pound buckets of sugar and averaged about a dollar a pound. 10# cans of cheese for around $15 etc
