Very nice Cyrus. The old man that showed me how to make moonshine always told me to take about a handful of corn or 2 row barley and soak it in some water, lay it out in direct sunlight on some kind of cloth and allow it to sprout. Once the sprouts were about 2 to 3 inches long, you grounded all of it up into a powder and you had 100% natural yeast.

[@anunentitledmotivatedmille7731]

that dosent seem right

[@davidmetis6249]

If you don’t have a berry patch handy, you can grow a yeast starter with just flour and water. After about five or six feedings with more flour and water you have a sourdough starter and it makes some nice spirit.

[@kiwiprouddavids724]

So you have gathered your own yeast?
I'm thinking of trying it,you couldn't tell me how you got on with your yeast

[@Johannes4233]

Different plants will yield different varieties of yeast. I tried this few years ago with a bunch of different berries/flowers etc. and surprisingly rhubarb was the best one. It definitely smelled like pure yeast, the exact same you'd get from a storebought package. I'm guessing the acidity also has to do with it since yeast likes acidic environments but the unwanted bacteria and mould can't survive those conditions that well.

Just started making my own yeast I pulled some cap and little flour and sugar and 1 small potatoe shaved and cooked so far it looks good and smells great and I am putting in the frig at night and out during the day.. just trail and error at the moment set it up for starter for sour dough bread . So can keep it for a long time and just add back as I use it.

[@dmorgan5010]

I'm leaving it in the frig for 3 days and let it slow down so it builds up instead of running out of yeast .so I started with 1/2 gallon and thinking about splitting it into 2 half gallon anyone else has positive or negative input or suggestions. It is my first attempt to build up a yeast starter for multiple options
