I don't cook. But bakers yeast is excellent for maintaining a healthy septic system. How much per month is advisable for a healthy septic system?

Pumping your septic system on a regular basis is the best way maintain your septic system.I don't believe baker's yeast or any additives are useful for maintaining a healthy septic system. You're making a statement that I don't believe is true. Baker's yeast is one type of bacteria, and there are all types of bacteria already in there and you're constantly feeding the septic system with more and more bacteria every day. That said, it isn't going to hurt for you to put some yeast into your septic system. As one website I saw said, "It's like adding a teaspoon of salt into the ocean to make it taste saltier." But give it a try. It might make for an new and interesting kind of sour dough starter. ;-) Pumping your septic system on a regular basis is the best way maintain your septic system.I don't believe baker's yeast or any additives are useful for maintaining a healthy septic system.

I can not answer this question from past experience. I have read a bit on baking with yeast and yeast storage and I keep reading that yeast can be frozen for over a year or so...plus I would think you can add on additional time with the expiration date. It is a lot of yeast but if you bake one loaf of bread every two weeks and use two packets of yeast for each loaf of bread then you could use this up in two years. Just trying to put it into perspective. Hope this helps.

Google is a wonderful source of information. I didn't know the answer, but go to: www.milkandhoneyhealthfoods.com/brewers-yeast-versus-nutritional-yeast for the best explanation I found.

Same as Allison; my packets are 5 grams as well. I have found 1 gram of yeast works out to works out to about a 1/4 teaspoon. Have fun making hooch!

I work in a brewery and I find it hard to believe that a home brewer would ask this question. Brewer's yeast is a byproduct of the beer industry, as in After the Fact, not to be used to brew beer.

I've had this last well over a year just kept in a plastic storage container in my cupboard....probably should've frozen it and will do that in the future but really had no problems for easily a year and a half (probably some people who are more sticklers would disagree with my keeping it until I noticed it not working as well as it used to, but it worked for me) It is significantly cheaper than the little packets, and yeast is yeast....labeling it "bread machine yeast" is just a marketing ploy.

I have a conventional septic system. Had it opened for pumping 4/28. Looked good. Guy doing he pumping gave it a good report. I use the green pig stuff quarterly. That was the 1st pumping in 4 1/2 years. Our system is a 900 gal tank that flows to a distribution box that channels the fluid to the drain field.

Four 1 gallon bottles. My septic guy recommends one quart every other month. Means it will last over 2 1/2 years. Best value.

I don't exactly know the answer, but I will say that this is not "active" yeast like you would use to bake bread. Almost 100% positive that that means no, it won't ferment apple juice, or anything else.

Michael: Per your question about what this will do to a septic system. Oh Yuk's dose is very well planned out with lab testing and field testing so the product is the correct strength. Not to strong, not to weak, so there shouldn't be much that gets into the septic system. Plus, if there is any active chemical remaining, the contaminants in the septic system would overwhelm and neutralize the chemical. With this said, this should not have any impact on the septic system.

We've just started using this product because my parents have been using it for years for their septic tank. If Ridx is working, I'd try Green Pig, its supposed to eat the solids & etc.

10 billion cells is correct. I strongly recommend keeping the box in the refrigerator to maintain the potency. Culturelle and Align are probably the two most recommended by everything I have read about the probiotic craze. Align has a higher cost with hardly every any discounts or coupons. Your best bet is on Amazon with the double box deal. One each morning will keep your gut on track! Even my Primary G.I. Doctor uses Culturelle.

This is a great product and you don't need it to be "fresh" as long as it is sealed up. I open about 1 pound a month and use it all and have never had a problem with it being good and working extremely well and I make fresh bread about 3 times a week. it always works!!

I had no problem with yeast so I have no idea. To be safe do the candidastroy first then wait a couple months and do the parastroy you dont want to over work your body.

Google it girl. I don't think you would have half as much fun with brewers yeast taste-wise. Nooch is delicious and full of goodies. Here's a link to get you started. http://bestnaturalfoods.com/nutritional_yeast.html

You don't feed your sourdough? Interesting. I suppose you could leave it running forever, but I wouldn't. At $150 a pop, that's an expensive way to keep your culture going.. try another method. How did they do it before proofers? :)
