    I count 104 different types of currently available

    "And" what? He says 2 yeasts and the book says at least 5
    species with 104 varieties. Duh.

    Quoted message said:

    I'd be interested in whether these, given the same
    substrate, would be distinguishable one from the other. I
    certainly couldn't tell.

    That you can't tell isn't a surprise. In all likelyhood, you
    don't know or care which yeast is used to make your beer. In
    my region of the planet, there are quite a few
    microbreweries and even more wineries.

    Quoted message said:


    Quoted message said:

    Granted two species provide the bulk of varieties.
    Nonetheless, each strain makes a different beer flavor.

    I doubt that. I'd say the hops, amount of alcohol produced
    (main difference between yeast varieties) and the malted
    barley variety and recipe would all be much more important
    contributers to a beer's taste.

    The Beer book says it important. If it was of no effect
    on beer their wouldn't be all the various strains
    available from the beer making supply companies. Recall
    the 104 number.

    Quoted message said:

    Each one would produce a "yeast sludge" (as you called
    it) with a somewhat different nutrient profile.

    Not worth worrying about I would guess. Depends a lot on
    what the yeast has to live on.

    That you don't value it is a given. Whether, it importance
    to me or others is another issue. Understand, I am
    interested less in the beer and more in food yeast
    production.

    the spectrum.

    Ok Ok. I'll grant Gohde is over the edge and has been for
    years. As to Mark he is as toxic as Gohde if more lucid. And
    as Mark is more lucid, he is more toxic.

    You pose as Mooshe's man, but your reasoning is the same as

    is but one Mooshe.

    I think I've recounted this here before, but a friend
    of mine used to dump brewery sludge on his market
    garden until the health authority banned it for
    containing heavy metals. Can't quite remember which
    ones, but cadmium seems to ring a bell.

    Perhaps it was the following? There was a cobalt additive
    that was banned. It was poisoning beer drinkers and was
    banned in the 70's as I dimly recall.

    I just heard that recently, about cobalt and beer....
    can't remember... short term memory shot from too much
    beer or cobalt 🙂

    Too much beer is bad for the memory while red wine is
    apparently more benign and even healthful in some ways.

    Good onyer Noisy you tell 'em mate 🙂

    BTW, being a tight bassted, I pinch my wife's baking
    yeast to brew the odd flagon of wine.

    Here in the States a packet of good wine yeast costs less
    than a dollar which is enough for a large carboy a 5 +
    gallon gas jug.......they quite large.

    Yes, but when you only have baker's yeast in the house....
    Works fine to my crass palate.

    I was referring to poisoning a batch of wine with an
    excess of sulfite. I've never used baking yeast. Though
    I've skipped the sulfites and the yeast and have gotten
    decent results.

    When I was in high school, one of the other guys was brewing
    his own fire water with sugar and baking yeast.

    a 10 or 15 dollar bottle will likely be better. I

    When drinking wine the serving temperture is extremely

    good or bad.

    When drinking wine the serving temperture is extremely
    important as even 10 degree difference can make wine
    taste good or bad.

    So they say. I've never found it to make much difference
    except bad wines chilled don't taste so bad.

    Old age has got your taste buds or perhaps you are short on
    zinc as a shortage can impair the ability to taste.

    What's a ' "genetic" species' ? Enquiring minds want
    to know.

    What is a "genetic species", you ask?

    Consider the following comments.

    "Since they all can interbreed, that brings us back to
    our initiao question: What should the scientific name of
    these animals be? Are red wolves (Canis rufus), gray
    wolves (C. lupus), coyotes (C. latrans), dogs (C.
    familiaris), and jackels
    (C. mesomelus, C. adustus, C. aureus, C. simemis) all
    different species? The fact that they are genetically so
    close creates infinite identification problems for
    scientists."

    Linneaen species are now called "morphological species".
    Genetic haven't been understood that long and certainly not
    in the 1730's when Carl von Linne devised his system
    classing animals and plants.

    " In 1982, J.H. Honacki and colleagues suggest that
    Linnaeus's name for the do be changed to Canis lupus
    familiaris to reflect its evolutionary descent. Not only
    did they think the dog descended from the wolf, but given
    its similarities to the wolf, they are suggesting that
    the dog is not a distinct species, but rather a
    subspecies of the wolf." Or to use my two words they are
    of the same "genetic species". Species as a practical
    matter, often describes animal breeding populations. Take
    the dingo, clearly a dog but also clearly could a
    species. And the Latin binomial system has wavered. First
    it called the dingo as Canis dingo and now it classes the
    animal as Canis familiaris dingo.

    Now Mooshe, you should be able to infer what I meant when I
    said "genetic species" in my illustration concerning yeast
    species and subspecies.

    Mooshe will go silent or sneer, I suspect.

    <snip irrelevant discourse about dogs>

    Or to use my two words they are of the same "genetic
    species". Species as a practical matter, often describes
    animal breeding populations.

    Does it? And so what? What is a "genetic species"?

    As you could have seen in the snipped "irrelvant discourse"
    as you just called it that species classification doesn't
    refer to the absence of cross fertility. Different species
    that are genetically close can sometimes crossbreed even
    though classed as of separate species and sometimes even as
    of separate genera; hence, some species could be said to be
    within the same "genetic species". Since I coined the term,
    I get to say what it means:-).

    Take the dingo, clearly a dog but also clearly could a
    species.

    A member of a species? Your expression is terrible.

    So. Hang on Mooshe.

    And the Latin binomial system has wavered. First it
    called the dingo as Canis dingo and now it classes the
    animal as Canis familiaris dingo.

    And this is relevant to a "genetic species?

    It shows that species classification doesn't always refer to
    full range of the genetic pool available in theory or in
    practice to plants, animals, or microorganisms.

    Now Mooshe, you should be able to infer what I meant when
    I said "genetic species" in my illustration concerning
    yeast species and subspecies.

    Nope. Total nonsense! Clear as mud!

    Clearly among various dogs breeds, wolves, dingoes, coyotes
    there are different different traits we human either exploit
    or are at least are aware. In the case of yeast strains of
    even in the same species, the differences will be more
    metabolic in nature and the yeast hulls of said strains
    should have a range of nutrient values which one might hope
    to exploit when growing yeast as a food supplement. For
    example, as source of more pyridoxine, pantothenate, folinic
    acid, a higher levels some specific amino acid, perhaps any
    of a number of valuable quinones and so on.

    You make these concepts so hard for yourself. You are making
    mole hill in a mountain.

    Mooshe will go silent or sneer, I suspect.

    And you as usual prejudge.

    Prejudging is a useful device in discussion. Anyway, you do
    go on to sneer in the next sentence. So clearly I was dead
    on in my judgement. he he

    I ask again, what is a "genetic species". If you don't
    know, that's fine, but don't blather on about dogs like
    the Rhode Island Red.

    Mooshe I've now explained what I meant by "genetic species"
    and even explained the point on interest to
    me. And I find it odd that you so interested as you aren't
    interested in food supplementation or innovation.

    Perhaps we should take the argument to a sci.bio newsgroup
    and see what the resident posters say;-)

  20. <Snipped > the trading of insults

    Mooshe claims baker's yeast won't ferment a solution of
    sucrose in tap water to ethanol.

    OK Mooshe I'll do it. I am pretty sure I've tested the
    viablity of bakers yeasts by adding it to a sugars solution
    and it has foamed up which indicates rapid yeast activity.
    So lets see if we get some Ethanol.
