BUMP FOR UPDATE

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

UPDATE:
miserable failure, next time I should be listened to.

[Suu]

Splosion?

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

No. Nothing that exciting.
It just....... sat there. Doing nothing.

I told him it needed more sugar and something and he was like "uh gnuh n whaaa" but you know... men. They don't listen.

[Suu]

The yeast won't do anything unless it can eat and shit out sugars. That's how things ferment...

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

yyyyyyyyyyyyip

but you know..... 

[Triple Zero]

was it dry yeast?

did you activate it first?

I usually make a mixture of lukewarm water (just below body temp), sugar and yeast in a glass (desinfect glass with boiling water). Glass should be no more than 1/4th full. Cover with something so no air micro critters fall in. Within 30 mins it should be bubbling and/or foaming and smelling like fresh bread dough and alcohol. If it's not, yeast's dead, try another packet. Srsly, in those circumstances, yeast should get at least somewhat busy within half an hour.

Then add the activated yeast brown water to whatever you want to ferment.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

Oh, I know how to activate yeast. I used to bake a lot when I was pregnant. A LOT. Fatty liked baked goodies.
No, someone was scared to listen to me and kept going "ya sure? are ya sure you're sure?" so I said do it your way.

Fail.

[Suu]

You were also using spent yeast from La Fin Du Monde....

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

It could have been revived. They're still live.

But nobody listens to meeeeeeeeeeeee
