Unless Jimmy can brew good beer with the right yeast, it doesn't prove anything when he produces bad beer with the wrong yeast.
Good point. I have made good cider with baking yeast.
This yep. Ive made good alcohol using bakers yeast before. Its about knoing how to use the tools youre given.
Brewers yeast is just better at making alcohol without as much effort
@@SylviaRustyFae Yes, this. I have made mead, wine and just stared a Braggot with bakers yeast, by choice, for the flavors it gives off. Out of all my batches people have unknowingly liked the bakers yeast brew the most.
@@SylviaRustyFae can you share any pointers on using baker's yeast that will improve my alcohol output?
your beer probably wouldn’t have tested a whole lot better with traditional ale yeast seeing how you forgot to use hops. Also you have to boil the wort
You can by pre-hopped liquid malt extract. You don’t “have” to boil with an extract brew, although I’d be a little worried about sanitation.
I know a recipe that does not require boiling the wort, but the hops must be added into the wort in a cup of hot water.
No grain or hops? That's like a weird rum mash more than a beer lol, I've made wine with bread yeast and it's alright, sure a decent brewer could put out an alright beer with bread yeast, especially considering wild yeasted beers exist
On the other side of the yeast coin, you can make bread with beer.
I change out the yeast with bread yeast. I just let it age for about 2 months and the bread yeast flavor comes down and I get buzzed
Yeah... You can brew good alcohol from bakers yeast; you just need to do more to it than youve done here. Proper aging and backsweetening as well as not using too much sugar from the start is more critically important. When youre using bakers yeast its near impossible to reach more than 8% ABV as well; so it will generally taste too sweet and not alcoholic enuf if you just use the same steps used to brew an ale
um there's a lot more wrong with his "dump into bucket" recipe than the yeast lol! I've brewed with bread yeast in a pinch, and the biggest difference is that it takes a lot longer to clear... a LOT longer.... It also produces more off flavors than beer yeast.
It started on a low note, John Bull kit
American colonists used to get their yeast from the brewer to make bread.
Ratio of CO2 to Ethanol produced is stochiometric (ie it is a chemical reaction ratio) and always the same regardless of yeast used (please don't yeah..but, I know you are going to talk about cogeners vs ethanol but the amount is not significant). The reason you are disappointed is because the flavour profile is wrong for the beer you were trying to make. There are literally hundreds of different varieties of yeast that are used for beer, all giving different profiles. I'm also going to guess that the "bakers" yeast you used is more "attenuative" - ie it ate up more of the complex sugars that your expected to be present in the beer to give it the flavour you were looking for and the correct mouthfeel.
Cheers
The trick to making alcohol taste good when made from brewers yeast is to age it for a good long time and ideally backsweeten it to give it the flavours that it needs.
I hd ever made my alcohol12%abv with baker yeast within 5days complete fermentation
Extract beers are crap.
That is not how you make beer
wua e fu bro youv cant dou that
You can, but you need to use different methods instd of treating it exactly the same as if you were brewing some ale.
@@SylviaRustyFae nice neck beard
