Well, dunno what you got. 'Fresh yeast' can be misleading. Noted you
say 'blocks'. Thats the cake of yeast stuff? Why the heck would you
use that?

Fresh, moist, compressed blocks of yeast, not dried stuff. Different
yeasts can give different results, and affect the taste of the finished
product.
I don't use an automatic bread machine, so I am not limited to bread
machine dried yeast.

Bread machine yeast is kind of a scam. It's just repackaged active dry yeast. Most people use the envelopes. Yeast is yeast is yeast. If they bake a lot, they might get a jar of yeast. I get a 2 lb bag of yeast at Costco or Sam's Club. I don't proof my yeast most times because I'm fairly sure the product's good.

You don't get flour all over the place and you can even knead while watching a Three Stooges short. When kneading the dough you no longer use your arms and shoulders. You use only your hands.

That would be a funny epitaph, The MacGyver of masturbation.
I sometimes think of practical jokes that would only be practical
if I won the lottery. One is to make fake tombstones with absurd
epitaphs, and sneak them into cemeteries.

[fake name]
Born Feb. 17, 1956
Died June 21, 1990
He was truly the
MacGyver of Onanism

Every so often you could drive through the cemetery to see if it
had been removed.

The term 'Bread Machine Yeast' is a generic that really means 'dry and
doesn't have to be tested in warm water to bubble'. Active dry is the
same.

Typical nonsense from know nothings. Different bread yeasts are as
different as different wine grape yeasts. Any yeast that hasn't been
proofed recently should be proofed prior to using. Yeast is a living
organism that can die and/or become contaminated by different yeasts.
Proper packaging and storage is important.

You know nothing of bread machines. You know nothing about modern yeast
types of storage. Go away Sheldon.

He probably thinks the only good yeast is sold by kosher delis in New
York.

Nope... the only yeast Sheck the Dreck knows is her contagious vaginal
yeast infections... and Brushie laps it up.
