Will Utah outlaw yeast?

Help Support Homebrew Talk:
I don't see the problem with it honestly. It says in the first sentence that it is a product sold to minors so even if they started carding for brewing supplies then so be it. Plus Utah is a super conservative state.
Thinkgeek.com sells a juice to alcohol product like that "Spike"
I've actually been somewhat interested in trying it..
That said, I was buying everything I needed to brew at my LHBS when I was a senior in highschool. This was like 15 years ago tho.

I'm just pissed off that I didn't think of it first. Some jerk is making a ton of money just marketing dry yeast in a box for $10. The sad thing is that most people are too stupid to know that if you add any yeast to juice it's going to ferment.

And it is a moronic effort to begin with. When I was underage I had zero problem getting alcohol. Any regulation you attempt to stop underage drinking will easily be circumvented.
A good step towards combating underage drinking would be banning water, yeast, oxygen, all processed and natural sugar, and all starch products.

I remeber growing up in missouri we always heard crazy stories about moonshiners back in the day and actually thinking that would be the coolest thing ever to do for a living and now i like to think brewing beer has brought me closer to my childhood.

I tried my first mead Senior year after reading Beowulf. Failed miserably but hey, half a decade later I still have all my stuff so onto brewing.
PS that juice + yeast stuff is horriible.

It just sounds like they are trying to regulate that product only. I dont think they could actually ban yeast. Most of the morons in utah dont know that yeast is used to make alcohol. I asked a couple people about it and they just thought it was some kind of chemical. Silly people. But then again they also got Spice banned in most cities in utah. I know I cant buy it where i live anymore
More laws to make common citizens into criminals...my favorite.
This almost makes me want to open a bakery so I can sue the living crap out of the people that made these laws. Don't people in Utah eat cakes and breads?
With the proposition of such a law it seems that those in favor have not had enough atmosphere lately...but you are correct. This does not even cover wild yeast.
This looks like a blatant attempt, by a group of "do gooders", to get the foot in the door to start outlawing home brewing, indirectly.
Spice...WTF. This is EXACTLY what I am reffering to. Some one is afraid Little Jimmy will eat a jar of nutmeg to get high. This is not the fault of the nutmeg, it is a lack of parenting.

When I used to make sourdough bread (a VERY western tradition), strong, black alcohol would form on the top of the starter. You had to stir it to reincorporate it. I never thought of drinking it, but some 49ers used to. I imagine Red Star and other baking yeast mfgrs (and their parent multi-national corporations) might have a problem with restricting sale of baking yeast.
Eventually, it might just be easier for the state to ban flavor in general, since most of the best flavors come from organic processes, anyway. It's hard to tell which of these flavors are aligned with the devil and which ones are merely tasty.
White bread and Grape Jelly for everyone!

hahahahahahahahahaha.
everything in Utah is bland as ****. The lack of pay-per-view porn channels makes it even worse.
It's 100% related to how the products are marketed, for better or worse. Kids could do the exact same thing with a $0.50 packet of baker's yeast, but that's not being marketed to them as a way of getting drunk. It's the same reason that Joe Camel was killed off.
Tell you what, though, if I had one-hundredth of the knowledge I have now about fermentation, back when I was in high school... I'm not sure I would have graduated! Every locker would have been a fermentation chamber.

Spice it the slang name that they use here for the fake marijuana that you can buy at smoke shops. Chemical I think, one brand name is black marmba. It is like the "bath salts" that are like meth that the feds are trying to outlaw.

What about whipped cream in pressurized cans or spray paint. Whippets and huffing seem to kill more brain cells than homemade pruno.

I don't even know why Utah is making a fuss over this. You can not buy it on ANY shelf in Utah. It is an online only thing. I guess they probably want something in place in case they start stocking it on the shelves.
Utah is not as bland as some states. We get a bad rep because all the mormon influence but things are getting better. After all it is legal to homebrew here. And who the hell cares about pay per view porn.

Outlaw the atmosphere?.. no way.. Then you couldn't tax it and then what would all the do gooders in this country have to regulate and control?

Utah is a conservative state socially and politically but people have this wierd perception that conservatives love laws like this. Conservatives hate regulation especially stupid regulation like this. Regardless of what you do a teenager will find some way to get alchohol. Its up to the parents to control there kids not the government...
Also ban teenage girls. I am more driven than most, but if I could recapture the motivation I had in high school when I was trying to buy booze for girls, I would be undisputed ruler of the world in no time.

YOU dont have payperview porn so you wouldnt understand
The way that is worded it would be illegal to sell bread yeast to minors.
This just goes to show that we need to register the AHA as a religious organization and consider brewing as a religious service.

Also requiring ID: bread flour, organic grapes, naturally carbonated soda.
All have traces of wild or cultured yeast. You can get a sourdough starter going with the first two.

When yeast is outlawed, only outlaws will have yeast.
