Hi I am new here also and I do store my yeast in the fridge I am not sure if it makes the bread raise better or not. I have just read it is better for the yeast. Welcome to the group

I have a question ladies, I am new at this so please be kind when you
answer. When making bread, I was told to store my yeast in the fridge
so it would keep longer, does the dough rise better when the yeast is
room temperature? I have made 2 loaves and both looked very rustic and
I was wondering if that was it. They both tasted wonderful, but they
were a bit dense and only made about 1/3 of the pan in my bread machine
and I am trying to figure out what I might have done wrong. Thanks for
your time and responses.
