Liquid Yeast Storage and Shipping
We store liquid yeast in temperature-monitored refrigeration to help protect yeast health until shipment. Once in transit, weather and carrier handling are outside our control, so liquid yeast customers should choose shipping protection based on season, destination, and transit time.
Expedited shipping, insulated mailers, and ice packs can materially reduce risk for liquid yeast during warm-weather transit. Dry yeast is generally much less risky to ship than liquid yeast.
