Yeast digest just about any sugar, converting it into ethyl alcohol. Beer yeast, for example, thrive on maltose, the sugar of malted barley grain. Wine yeasts prefer fructose sugars found in fruits such as grapes or berries.

Can you substitute brewers yeast for bakers yeast when making beer?
Yeast is one of the primary sources of the flavoring of a beer. You can use pretty much any sort of yeast when making alcoholic beverages. But it will make a difference in the flavor of the beer.
What do you suspute brown sugar for?
I'm assuming that you meant substitute. To substitute white sugar for brown the formula is as follows: to replace one cup light brown sugar- mix one cup granulated sugar and one Tablespoon molasses. To substitute one cup dark brown sugar- mix one cup granulated sugar and two tablespoons molasses.
What type of alcohol is made with yeast and molasses?
Let me explain to you today manufacture of ethyl alcohol from molasses. In India of the ethyl alcohol is prepared from molasses. Molasses is the mother liquor left after the crystallization of cane sugar from concentrated juice. It is dark coloured thick syrupy mass. Molasses contain about 60% fermentable sugars, mostly sucrose, glucose, and fructose. It forms a brilliant cheap source of industrial ethyl alcohol. Molasses is converted into ethyl alcohol by the following steps: Dilution. Molasses id first diluted with water. One volume of molasses is blended with 5 volumes of water. Addition of Ammonium Sulphate. Molasses usually contain enough nitrogenous matter to act as food for yeast during fermentation. If the nitrogen content of the molasses is poor, it may be fortified with ammonium sulphate or ammonium phosphate. Addition of Sulphuric Acid. The solution is then made acidic with a little amount of sulphuric acid. Acidity is favourable to the growth of yeast but unfavourable to most other bacteria. Care should be taken to avoid an excess of acid as the yeast may be killed.
20 grams of fresh yeast equals how many tablespoons?
20 grams of fresh yeast is equal to exactly 2. 35 tablespoons. If fresh yeast is not available then you can substitute dry yeast. The proper conversion is reduce the yeast amount called for by one half.
What make the smell that the cake gives off and what does yeast have to do with it?
One of the by products of baking things with yeast is that the yeast, along with making the cake or bread rise, makes alchol . . . just enough to smell good along with the natural baking aromas of the cake or bread.
Which fungus makes bread rise?
Yeast, in bread-making, is fungi. So to answer the question fungi helps the bread rise baisically!
What organisms use alchoholic fermentation?
Yeast and Bacteria. :)
What is the conversion factor of block yeast to powdered yeast?
Block yeast is two to one dry yeast powder
How do you dissolve dry yeast in water?
Your recipe should indicate where and how to add the yeast, but yeast does not dissolve well in milk (if at all). Yeast forms into large clumps when mixed directly with milk and will take much longer to activate. I made this mistake the first time I tried to substitute milk for water when making bread. The usual way of adding yeast to such a recipe is to fully dissolve the yeast in 1/4 cup of warm water (about 110 degrees Fahrenheit). If the water is not warm enough, it won't activate the yeast and if it's too warm, it can kill the yeast. One of my colleagues proofs the yeast in the usual way (1/4 cup warm water, 1 tsp sugar, 1 tsp yeast), then adds the rest of the yeast to the water, mixes the dry ingredients with the milk for the recipe, then adds the water-yeast mixture to that. He claims that it works perfectly. Of course, if you use 1/4 cup of water to dissolve your yeast, subtract 1/4 cup of milk from the recipe unless otherwise indicated. And also make sure you're using the proper yeast for whatever it is you are baking.
Where can one get jobs making wine?
Make some home brew, grow your own grapes, buy some sugar & yeast, and voila!
what is a solvent for molasses?
Molasses is soluble in water. In fact, I often enjoy mixing one tablespoon of it into a pot of soup, for added flavor.
What are the different names of chemical reactions?
Propane Combustion (where propane is lit on fire) Fermentation (one example is bread rising - the yeast will ferment and create gasses that try to escape the dough, thus making it rise)
