Ever read something that makes you scratch your head?

Polish company wants funding for its attempt to brew beer with bacteria from a Czech model's vagina | Daily Mail Online

Given the time of year it's not uncommon to read weird articles but I'm not so sure this is one. There is an actual indie gogo campaign for it. I couldn't imagine it tasting good. Might have a slight fishy taste.

Meh... I'm sorry it seems like you've had some bad experiences. I don't even drink, but I'd be on the QC team.

I guess yeast is yeast, but it still sounds nasty.

We see what you did there...

Yeast is a fungus.

Vagina bacteria is primarily lactobacillus... The same bacteria in yogurt.

Also, yogurt is delicious.

I love beer. Love women. But this..........I just.....don't........know......

It would creep me out thinking the hoppy flavor was czech guys of days past


Just.....not for me

"Rancid Crabtree Ale"........

Kinda has a ring to it...

Better than "Hot Tuna Stout", which would be a more honest description.

Not all yeast is the same. Bread yeast =/= brewer's yeast.



However, vaginal yeast is not actually yeast, but a bacteria - lactobacillus - the same bacteria that sours yogurt. Typically, in beer that's a sign of an infection; apart from Belgian sour styles.

I think there have been other threads about this; some homebrewers and yogurt makers have attempted this with their own cultures with mixed results.



My thoughts? No; just no. Do not put a bottle of this in my judging queue at any competition.

See, this makes sense to me personally.... I like yogurt also.

 

[hoosierdaddy1976]

I'd give it a try brewed, pasteurized, and bottled, but I doubt it will replace getting it straight from the tap.

<—see what I did there?

Anyway, no. Vaginal yeast is in fact yeast, not bacteria... lactobacillus is the bacteria present in a normal and healthy hoo-hah.

You know they would just outsource this to the lowest cost resource they could, and well... that would not be the same.

Huh.

IANAD, just a brewer.

Yeast is a form of bacteria.

And the saying yeast is yeast is true to a point. They all do the same basic thing with just slightly different outcomes.

omg... No, no it is not. It's a fungus. Did anyone here take basic biology? Both are unicellular organisms, but yeasts are eukaryotic and bacteria are prokaryotic.

40 yrs ago I dated a blond cheerleader. She always tasted like strawberrys. Maybe she raised them.

So true. My guess is we all were too business being indoctrinated to be PC that biology took a back seat.

Anyways, I assumed that the beer would be fermented with her "normal culture" not from a fungal infection (the article is likely a misunderstanding); ergo, lacto (bacteria) not a fungus.


Again, I'm a brewer, not a microbiologist.
