I have a couple of quick questions about yeast.
First off, in the beginner video I watched (see my other thread), they said just to use bread yeast for your first time.
I just got some yeast out of the cupboard and used that. Now that everything is done, I noticed that it said on the yeast, "sweet bread yeast" ... whatever that means. Does that matter, that it's "sweet" bread yeast?
Second question ... does it matter how much yeast you put in? I am assuming the yeast multiplies as the brew goes on. I imagine you could put too little in (meaning it would take a longer time I guess), but can you put too much in? In most recipes I have seen they just say to put in "a teaspoon".
