Shipping liquid yeast

Dec 18, 2004 1 Replies

As I do not have any liquid yeast available here in Israel I am thinking of asking someone to bring me some from the States (some Abbey ale yeast, or something of the sort). I was warned yeast does not travel very well while not treated carefully. Does anyone have any experience with flying yeast from place to place, or traveling with yeast not being refrigerated constantly? Thanks, Michael PS as long as I am asking someone to bring me the abbey yeast, does anyone have any Trappist recipes?


Hippocampus,

The food laboratory I work at gets sensitive samples from all over the world. I usually receive them in styrofoam lined shipping boxes with ice bricks (plastic containers with frozen liquid inside) to keep the samples from spoiling. Ask your shipper for this service. Works fine.

If this is not possible, use dried yeast.

Good luck,
