We strongly recommend ordering dry yeast in the summer months. We do include complimentary ice packs with all liquid yeasts. It is difficult to guarantee that the ice packs will survive the trip given transit times and particularly hot temperatures.
We have used this yeast several times now. I prefer dry yeast in my kits in the warm months because I don’t have the worry of it staying cool while shipping. Typically we use a yeast starter, but have had success with or without one.
