The various kinds of yeasts are used in the brewing of beers and in wine making for the production of alcohol and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is especially important in baking and bread making to make the bread dough rise before baking.

What role does play yeast in breweries?

Yeast is the microorganism that is responsible for fermentation in beer. Yeast metabolises the sugars extracted from grains, which produces alcohol and carbon dioxide, and thereby turns wortinto beer. In addition to fermenting the beer, yeast influences the character and flavour.[23] The dominant types of yeast used to make beer are Saccharomyces cerevisiae, known as ale yeast, and Saccharomyces uvarum, known as lager yeast; their use distinguishes ale and lager.[24] Brettanomycesferments lambics,[25] and Torulaspora delbrueckii ferments Bavarian weissbier.[26]Before the role of yeast in fermentation was understood, fermentation involved wild or airborne yeasts. A few styles such as lambics rely on this method today, but most modern fermentation adds pure yeast cultures
