How can I made yeast?!


Question:

How can I made yeast?


Answers:

Normally yeast for baking breads and cakes is purchased at the super market. Yeasts for making vinegar and alcoholic beverages are also usually purchased. It is a very complex procedure to cultivate then isolate and dehydrate yeast.

You can "collect" wild yeasts for making bread, alcohol and vinegar. The procedure is fairly simple. A web search via Google and other search engines will give you the exact procedure. But these yeasts must be kept refrigerated in a support medium such as bread dough and fruit or grain juice. These are called "Starters".

Yeast is a one celled plant, not a bacteria as some people think. Bacteria are one celled animals.

The product sold as Brewers Yeast as a health supplement is inactive, i.e. it has been "killed" with heat.

"Yeast" for sour dough bread is actually special yeast and bacteria colonies. The "yeast" for making vinegar is also a special yeast and bacteria colony.

There are special yeasts for making alcoholic beverages. These are sold at stores selling the equipment for home brewing of beer and wine.

Yeast for making bread is sold in nearly all supermarkets.
