Q: I want to use bread yeast in my wine and/or beer. All yeast is the same, right?

A: WRONG. Yeast comes in all sorts of strains. Bread yeast is made specifically for bread. Wine yeast is made specifically to support wine characteristics and the fermentation of wine. Beer yeast is made specifically for beer and to support the fermentation of beer. There are many different kinds of beer and wine yeast to fit your kind of brew!
