Can yeast produce alcohol from eating splenda?

[ALECOCK]

I'm sure this is a dumb question that has been asked many times before but I figured I'd ask it anyway TIA

Nope, totally different chemical. Splenda is one way to sweeten your brews.

i don't believe so, many people backsweeten w/ splenda because it will not ferment. don't take this as canon though, just regurgitating what I've found on random sites.

 

[oldschool]

I think this is what i said?

You both posted at the same time. I doubt he seen your reply.

Splenda will not ferment, and will not be eaten by yeast. It sweetens a finished product.

 

[PUD]

With some vast research on the last four posts. Um, no.. I heard it's a way to sweeten your brews though.

Only after the yeast have been infected by the H1N1 Virus. They then mutate and can eat anything, it's all part of "Project Blue Beam".

Straight Splenda, no. It's chlorinated sucrose and nothing can metabolize it. Some forms of Splenda have a little dextrose in it as a flow agent, that will ferment. The sugar in Splenda blends will ferment.

Just be very careful if back sweetening with Splenda. It is something like 100x sweeter than sugar and very easy to overdue, as I found out with my Apple Ale.

Yeah its stronger and a full box of splenda weighs not much more than an empty box. Oh how I enjoyed that cup of splenda made slightly wet by tea....

No it's not, Project Blue Beam is a conspiracy theory that claims that NASA is attempting to implement a New Age religion with the Antichrist at its head and start a New World Order, via a technologically-simulated Second Coming.
