Yes Col.  I just leave it on the bench or table in the motorhome.  Temperature doesn’t seem to make a lot of difference.  I have even read where some put it in the fridge overnight.

Will see how they go in Tassie later this year.  Often colder outside than inside the fridge. 

They don’t look that bad.

I use this yeast I get from Woolies.  No other reason than it is always there, is the only one I have ever used and it seems to always work for me, even when getting down to the bottom of the container.

I always keep it in the fridge even when travelling.

Interesting. I've made our bread (machine) for years. We don't remember the last time we bought bread at home. Did a few years ago when travelling. I have never kept yeast in the fridge. Just opened a new bag of bread flour (10kg) the yeast comes in 4 sealed foil packets and I am a full pack of 4 behind. They supply more than you Knead (see what I done) I used to make spicy fruit loaf, but as we get older we are eating less & it's not worth buying wholemeal as it's well past its best before I finish it. The bread flour & yeast also make very good no knead bread when travelling.

The original recipe I had said 75mm and this set had one that size.  Bought from Kmart I think for $4.  Handy for other things as well.

I keep these together with a reusable zip tie.
