Yeast needs an appropriate temperature, water, and sugar to be active. If it does not have those three things, it will be inactive.

At what temperature and for how long is the pasteurization of active brewers yeast carried out so as to render it inactive?

Pasteurization of active brewer's yeast is typically carried out at a temperature of around 60-70°C (140-158°F) for about 10-30 minutes. This process effectively kills the yeast cells, rendering them inactive while preserving some of their nutritional properties. The exact temperature and time can vary depending on the specific strain of yeast and desired outcome.


Can you substitute baker's yeast for brewer's yeast?

Different strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae produce different proportions of carbon dioxide and alcohol. Baker's yeast is a blend of several strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae chosen for their flavor and ability to make carbon dioxide, which causes bread to rise. Brewer's yeast is made of strains chosen for their alcohol-producing ability and tends to have a bitter flavor. Brewer's yeast is considered an inactive yeast while baker's yeast is an active yeast. In an active yeast the yeast cells are still alive, whereas they are killed in the process of making inactive yeasts, like brewer's yeast.
