I have just used dried yeast for a bread in the bread maker but there is still a lot left how long will it still be good to use after opening it and closing it properly because the booklet of the bread maker says once opened throw it away up I find that a waste
Best Answer
My dried yeast keeps well enough in the fridge after opening. It is essentially freeze dried, as long as you keep it air tight and in the fridge it should last a long time, even well after the best before date. I know someone still using dried bakers yeast first opened in the year 2000 so I wouldn't worry.

How do you know yeast is good?
There's an Easy Way to Check Proof your yeast to find out if it's still active by adding 1 teaspoon of sugar and 2 1/4 teaspoons of yeast (one envelope) to 1/4 cup of warm water. Then, wait 10 minutes. If the mixture bubbles and develops a yeasty aroma, the yeast is still good.Can you use old yeast for anything?
You can use expired yeast provided that some of it is still active. Yeast that's past it's prime will take longer to grow and raise the dough, so only use it with breads that are made without eggs are a lot of sugar (those bread recipes need a pretty powerful proof that weak yeast can't provide).How long does yeast last in the fridge?
Newly purchased yeast (with good purchase-by date), can be stored in a cool location (pantry or cabinet), refrigerated, or frozen for up to two years. Once the yeast is opened, it's best kept in the refrigerator to use within four months, and six months \u2013 if kept in the freezer.How do you make bread with old yeast?
