Allinsons green tin yeast is activated on contact with water. Allinsons yellow tin yeast takes longer to activate on contact with water.

Apart from this they both do the same job, but yellow is about 65p for 125g where green is about £1 for 100g. I use either if one is not available, but prefer green tin.

Shortest version is put half a tub(ish) in roughly room temperature water or a bit warmer water some minutes before putting into main bucket of liquid.

I prefer green, but Robert is wise, though clearly Scottish and tighter than a duck's ass.

I learned at a young age that a penny saved is a penny saved!
It's the pennies that I save that allow me to use more yeast than most do, 100g per 23 litres, mainly because I can't be bothered to grow it on anymore :)

The one thing to learn about this hobby of ours is, a lot of what we do is trial & error.

Wiki quotes this..

Trial and error is a fundamental method of problem solving. It is characterised by repeated, varied attempts which are continued until success, or until the agent stops trying.

What was that Dionne Warwick song from 1964?
You'll never get to heaven if you misquote a moderator?

I only remember the one about a lil row boat, but google is smarter




Can't Get to Heaven Song


Lyrics:
Oh, you can't get to Heaven in an old Ford car
'Cause an old Ford car won't get that far

Oh, you can't get to Heaven in a ping pong ball
'Cause a ping pong ball is much too small

Oh, you can't get to Heaven in a limousine
'Cause the Lord ain't got no gasoline

Oh, you can't get to Heaven in a Sabre Jet
'Cause the Lord ain't got no runways yet

Oh, you can't get to Heaven in a Girl Scout's arms
'Cause the Lord don't fall for those feminine charms

Oh, you can't get to Heaven in a rocking chair
'Cause the Lord don't want no lazybones there

Oh, you can't get to Heaven in a wicker chair
'Cause the Lord don't want no baskets there

Oh, you can't get to Heaven in a biscuit tin
'Cause a biscuit tin's got biscuits in

Oh, you can't get to Heaven in an apple tree
'Cause an apple tree's got roots you see

Oh, you can't get to Heaven on roller skates
You'd roll right by them Pearly Gates

You'll never get to heaven in your girlfriend's bra
'Cause your girlfriend's bra can't stretch that far

Oh, you can't get to Heaven on a Honda bike
'Cause you'll get halfway, then you'll have to hike

Oh, you can't get to Heaven in our row boat
'Cause our row boat won't even float.

Oh, you can't get to Heaven in dirty jeans
'Cause heaven's got no washing machines.

Oh, you can't get to Heaven in a Kleenex box
'Cause God don't like no dirty snots.

Oh, you can't get to Heaven on a pair of skis
You'll shuss right through St. Peter's knees.

Oh, you can't get to Heaven in our Leader's pants
'Cause his pants are full of ants

Oh, you can't get to Heaven on water skis
'Cause the angels don't like hairy knees

Oh, you can't get to Heaven with powder and paint
'Cause it makes you look like what you ain't

Oh, you can't get to Heaven in a strapless gown
'Cause that gown thing might fall right down

Oh I want to go to heaven, and I want to do it right
So I'll go up to heaven all dressed in white

Oh one fine day, and it won't be long
You'll look for me, and I'll be gone

And if you get to heaven before I do
Just drill a hole and pull me through

But if I get to heaven before you do
I'll drill a hole and spit on you

Well if I get to heaven, before you do
I'll plug that hole, with shavings and glue

That's all there is, there is no more
St. Peter said, as he shut the door

Oh there's one more thing I forgot to tell
If you don't go to heaven, you'll go to...bed

And that's the end, St. Peter said
As he closed the gates, And went to bed.

Old Timers can be a terrible thing.
In your possible case, my probable case, any case, they all suck!
Miss-direction is not going to see you run away from this one, and get very far!
We know what is needed.
