I'm almost positive that bakers yeast. You could use it for brewing, but would you want to?

Yeah, It's baker's yeast....
People have brewed with it in lieu of beer yeasts, and made meads. You can always experiment.... Heck the basic brewing guys did a video cast- brewing with bread yeast and baking with beer yeasts.

I wouldn't bet a batch of beer on bakers yeast doing well with beer. You will get better results if you stick with brewers yeast.Thwizzit said:

I have seen packages of yeast that big at my LHBS. Anyone ever get one?

Yes but it also involved 87,750 gallons of apple juice, 35100 lbs of sugar and a swimming pool. Starting OG 1.071. It needs 309.5 lbs of yeast unless you want to make a really big starter.
(if I did the math right thats Edwort's Apfelwein Recipe for a 30x60 foot pool depth of 3-10 feet)

"We don't drink from your toilet. Don't pee in our apfelwein."
