Probably not. To test it, heat about 1 cup (250 ml) of water to about 115F (40C) and then dissolve about 1 teaspoon (5 gm) white sugar in it. Add about 1 teaspoon of your yeast and let it sit for about five minutes. If its good you should see it foaming away. Do not over heat the water or you WILL kill the yeast and you'll never know if your yeast is good or not.

How do you store fresh honey?
Honey is great in that it is the only food that never spoils. It has actually been found edible in Ancient Egyptian tombs! Just make sure it is stored in a tight container to prevent fermentation. Honey that is not sealed in a container or hive will absorb water from the air, encouraging yeast growth. I store my honey in a pantry or cupboard, no need to refrigerate.

What conditions make yeast grow the quickest?
I have discovered that the correct temperature (and out of drafts), and a tablespoon of sugar makes yeast work more quickly. If the liquid used in the recipe is too hot, it will kill the yeast ~ if the liquid is too cool, the yeast do not come "alive." Mix 1 tablespoon of sugar in the warm liquid (milk or water), add the yeast and let it rest for about 2 minutes. Stir the mixture gently to dissolve yeast, cover container and let it get "happy." Then pour this liquid mixture into the dry ingredients ~ voila !

Yeast is used to ferment the grains, etc., and create the alcohol but there is no yeast in any spirits. The distillation process used to create vodka and other distilled spirits removes the alcohol and leaves the yeast and other unwanted products behind.Alcoholic drinks that are not distilled, such as beer and ale, may still have yeast in them.
