If you can find it champaigne/wine yeast is the best Then from there it's brewers yeast used for making beer, then most name brand yeast in the grocery store works, just make sure its not expired.

I use Cooper's. Out of all the ones I've tested (not including champaigne), it seemed to be the one to last the longest.

Get brewer's yeast and you'll notice the difference. Much more reactive.
