>I've never had good luck with breaking out of the 6% range using bread yeast. It's very fast fermenter, but it's rather touchy stuff sometimes.
what were you trying to make? tomato paste is such a good nutrient source i'd be very surprised if it ever failed regardless of the yeast brand. i use bruggeman's dry yeast, but not sure if that's readily available to you
my local store doesn't have it either so i have to go on a 15 minute walk, not the end of the world
