hi, im looking for a bulk/cheaper way to buy yeast are there any brewers yeast supplement people use, that are not sterilised? we mostly brew ales, in southern qld australia, so sub tropical... also ciders, so champagne yeast other suggestions i dont know how to re-use yeast, so if this is...

Im in qld.. and use kveik yeast in summer, so actual fermentation can be over in days not weeks. But then, as im using kegmenter, i condition beer over the cake, some say this is preferable to racking, some debate on this. I do this as i ferment and serve in same keg (kegmenter). Always...
