New Marketing or Feminine Beer

DISCLAIMER: What you're about to read may be disturbing, disgusting, and downright demented. So please, enjoy it while it lasts.

Okay, so I'm new to brewing (anything) so I have little experience with the types of flavor and character imparted (by the yeast) on all the different brews we all know and love. So one day, my mind was wandering (as it normally does) and in my head, I stumbled upon the brilliant idea of brewing beer with of all things....******l yeast. I thought this was the craziest idea I had every considered, so I decided to tell a few friends. Needless to say, they probably all had the same reaction to what you are having as you read this. But in any case, the idea still seemed plausible...at least to my mind.

So a few months later, I headed to my local hangout to meet my friends for some beer and pool (thats billiards for you foreign folks ) when I noticed a new, but old face. This person and I never really connected the few times we had been in each others company, but we began to talk....about BEER. Apparently, he had been brewing tons of beer for a good 5 to 6 years. So after much serious talk and a few more beers, silliness ensued. So here I am, figuring he's going to think I'm nuts, but I present the proposition anyway...

"I have always thought about making beer with yeast taken from a v-a-g-i-n-a."

So my surprise, he thought it was the most hilarious thing because.....he had considered it in the past as well, but hadn't brought it up to anyone because he feared people would think he was nuts. Hilarious......

So we meshed our ideas together and figured female porn stars could market their very own beers with their very own...yeast! We came up with names like "Amber's Amber" and of course "Jamiqua Brown Ale." He then decided we should trademark the term 'Vagin-ALE'. We didn't really stay on the topic of taste for very long. Too funny.... What a night.

Are we both pretty f'ed up, or has anyone else considered this idea before?

If you hung on this long, you're a trooper.

There is already a woman doing that OR claiming she is doing that, but as us brewers know that yeast wont ferment wort.

Candida albicans is the yeast you're talking about. It's considered an "opportunistic pathogen". Most women carry it naturally and only get a "yeast infection" during times of immune compromise or stress on the body's natural flora (like when taking antibiotics). Even if you could get a CLEAN, pure culture, it won't ferment wort. Someone already thought of this anyway. It was somewhere on the internet. If it was real, it was just some regular beer with some of the yeast thrown in for show. Regardless of all the science stuff, people would probably just think of the whole idea as disgusting.

So what's the deal with it not being able to ferment wort? I can only guess that the potential reason would be the acidity of the wort. It definitely does ferment sugar into alcohol (and acetyldehyde.) (see this: 4th paragraph, 1st sentence)

Yes, people would find it disgusting, and the FDA wouldn't allow it, but a hilarious idea nonetheless....if you appreciate dark comedy. :cross:

UM YEAH.....Worst thread ever. and even my twisted self is sitting here going, "thats just nasty"

Hahahaha. Great response. Just great....

Oh, here we go again. Batch vs. sparge, aluminum vs. stainless, White Labs vs. White Babs and on and on....

This idea has been discussed before...I could say ad nauseum, which wouldn't be far from the truth...

Actually it was the very first thread I ever stumbled on in this place....I'm rather surprised I stuck around

This was a lame marketing ploy. The beer was fermented with a regular beer yeast and then dosed with a small amount of the personal yeast. Ugh.
