"Yeast is Yeast"

[Silentnoiz]

I saw this post on Mashable and of course immediately thought of beer...and also immediately wanted to separate the two.

This is going to happen, but not by me. So who will it be? Or has this already been done and I've missed it @DogFishHead @BrewDogs?

Yikes!

Yeast may be yeast, but I'm sure her sample was not a pure yeast strain. Lots of bacteria thrive at body temperatures. In Bread, after it rises, you cook it and kill everything. In beer we add it after the boil - No thanks!

How is this the second thread started to day about this?

That yeast is not the same yeast (C. ablicans instead of S. cerevisiae), and it probably won't do anything unless she's adding actual baking yeast. At that point, it's just a gimmick.

Duplicate thread to one posted about 15 hours ago...

Just a gimmick. Yeasts species differ massively.

Gross. What's funny is c.albicans is yeast responsible for thrush

Different family, different genus, different species. Candida albicans is about as similar to saccharomyces cerevisiae as I am to a dog.
