Most of the newcomers got started because there was a shortage of yeast and they had plenty of time on their hands due to lockdowns. For a while there was even a shortage of flour. We had plenty of flour in my area but packaged fresh or powdered yeast was nowhere to be found.
Did it years ago.
Have plenty of yeast now but would like to try it again.
I found yeast at Sams and BJs and at a local Mennonite store.
It freezes well and keeps a long time frozen.
Dont ask.
