haha in my cooking class we put a bit of some sort of syrup on it.
They litterally climbed it.
the syrup drop looked like a yeast ball O_o

When I eat beans, I make carbon dibackside. I learned that term at brewing school.

Wow. I was looking up beer making tips and up pops a guy teaching kids how yeast will eat sugar and produce carbonation. Kids that are this studious to go online and look this up are smart enough to make beer.

Cool experiment. I think the question you answered though was “what makes yeast produce gas the fastest” and not necessarily “what makes yeast grow and live the longest”.

bobrageagainst  on August 26th, 2010

you can control it but yeah usually around there, but its like drinking almost 6 beers eh. plus you will prob have more like 7 % up depending if u have more sugar and time.

bestSVMS  on August 28th, 2010

wouldnt it only be like 5 percent achol?

bestSVMS  on August 30th, 2010

dont buy little packets. If you ever going to use more than 3 packets, go and get like a 2pound bag for like 3-4$. The 3 little bags cost about the same.

Yesterday I put yeast and sugar with water in the bottle and after 30 minutes later, the bottle just “BOOM!” and all the creamy liquid splashing everywhere on the floor and wall. And I must clean before my mom back home. But is awesome to play with yeast!

Danny19921125  on September 15th, 2010

Watch out your teeth carefully is you like sugar.

OrganicLondon  on September 22nd, 2010

I think he says that because kids watch this channel and he doesn’t want them going home and producing thier own wine.
