I picked up a cheap kit from Midwest and it came with some no-name yeast (labeled RPB) like the packet mentioned in this post. It looks to be about a 6 or 7 gram packet. I'm just brewing a simple american light ale extract kit, but I've always been told to avoid no-name yeasts (I've never gotten one before).
I've got a 6 gram packet of Cooper's ale yeast that's a few months old. I'm thinking of using it instead. Does anyone know what "RPB" yeast is? I've never had a problem with the kits I've gotten from Midwest but I've always gotten premium yeast so I'm not sure what to make of this stuff (yeast upgrade wasn't an option).
