BEER
Yeast anaerobically( without oxygen) ferments the sugar in wort( broken down maltose and water), producing alcohol and carbon dioxide. Hops are added to give it a bitter taste and then there's your beer!

∙ 13y agoThe yeast is used in beer-making to ferment the sugars that are contained in the sweet liquid called wort or beer that isn't fermented yet. If no yeast was introduced to the wort, none of the sugars would ferment into alcohol. In short, it makes the alcohol.
Ha ha Is that true? I dont believe it!

∙ 7y agoalcohol is a byproduct of yeast. as the yeast consumes or "eats" the sugars in wine it releases carbon dioxide and alcohol. at a certain percentage of alcohol to total solution ratio, the yeast die out because the byproducts suffocate it as a human would eventually suffocate in an enclosed area. yeast are living organisms and need oxygen and "food" to live

Why is yeast used to make beer and wine?
Yeast is used to produce the alcohol in beer and wine. Yeast is a fungus that feeds on sugars to create energy for itself. When the yeast is deprived of oxygen, as it is in the production of beer and wine, it uses a process called anaerobic respiration to create its energy. The byproducts of anaerobic respiration are ethanol (alcohol) and CO2. This production of alcohol via yeast is called fermentation. Yeast is used in the production of virtually all Alcoholic Beverages.
