I just reviewed my receipt from a purchase that I made over the weekend and realized that my LHBS is selling Safale US 05 for $4.95 per packet .
So I'll no longer make that mistake again, and have started looking online at buying dry yeast in bulk. I've visited a few OLHBS's and notice that Danstar is selling for around $1.40 - 1.50 per packet, while Safale is selling for double that amount (around $3 per packet).
Do you think that this is due to the recall and Danstar pushing to re-gain clientelle, or is Safale really 2 times better? I've used both Safale and Notty / windsor and really can't tell a difference between the two products (other than Nottinghams recall a few months back).
What say you?
