Non-alcoholic to alcoholic

[123ferment]

Hello folks,


I got a non-alcholoic beer and out of curiousty I dropped a capsule of a food supplment Iam taking called "brewer's yeast" and left it in the beer bottle for 24 hours. It is starting to smell like alcohol.
Is this safe to drink?

Please help out....

Gentlemen,
I appreciate you responses. I am an adult guy (35 years old) living in a place where alcohol is not available.

I will try the beer and let you know.
Thanks all

When I was going through puberty, my mother gave me bbrewers yeast to get rid of and prevent pimples. Dr Oz also suggests its use. Cant remember for what though.

Using it for turning o'douls into Chimay is probably not going to work, but i'm sure its safe to drink.

Beer is not available in Colorado? Denver of all places?

The supplement "brewer's yeast" sold in health food stores is DEAD yeast. It is incapable of fermenting anything. We call it "yeast hulls" when we're adding it to the boil or in the fermenter to fix a stuck fermentation, since the yeast are cannibals and like to munch of dead yeast.

May as well through some of this in there

I did see an article about some guy that made his own Marmite from his homebrew yeast cake!

Didn't the factory shut down after the quake in CHCH? You'd better try Vegemite.

I don't mean to offend anyone by stereotyping or profiling, but it's possible he's Native American, a member of a religious sect, or some other organization that prohibits alcohol...that or he's 14.

 

[leolee86]

Brewers yeast supplement won't fermint sugar. It's dead yeast..besides most na beers contain .01-.10% anyways

Hasn't updated it since he got in the slammer.

Leaving aside the questions about the OP's veracity, it seems to me that there's a more fundamental issue: what would the yeast (any yeast) ferment? I wouldn't expect there would be much fermentable sugar in a non-alcoholic beer. I guess he could try a malt soda, if he can find that...

 

[ak-71]

Shouldn't be much to ferment there => no alcohol, but safe.
Same as taking the supplement and drinking the non-alcoholic beer separately.

This, exactly. Brewers yeast in non alc beer, heh.

Threads like this are the reason I get up in the morning.

 

[frazier]

Hasn't it been noted that you can use Malta Goya in a starter? I'm pretty sure I read that somewhere on HBT.

Anyway, still would require active yeast. Of course, if you let the bottle sit open long enough, something is bound to show up!

There's been a lot of that lately if you ask me.

 

[two_hearted]

If it doesn't work you could always go into your mom's pantry and grab some bread yeast, put it in her prune juice and hide it in a dark corner of your dungeon...er, her basement. Thennnnn, you add that to your non alcoholic beer. Don't forget to secondary your prune wine.

How much is bread yeast? That's pretty cheap right?

Looking back, I wish someone would have told me about fermenting Koolaid. I could have had just as much fun in the dorms, but spent a lot less.
