#1081 How To Make Natural Yeast

[smwon1]

Cool video! Can you give a recipe for using the starter?

[leo1234]

all this juz for 2 breads?? =.=..

[DrunkenAnglers]

I would have discarded the mouldy grape jar instantly. Anyway, the process for this isn't too dis-similar to wine making. You just have to make sure that all the equipment you use has been sterilized. Personally, I would fit some kind of airlock or bubbler to the jar so I didn't have to open it all the time and risk mould spores or other unwanted nasties getting in. The process relies on the natural yeast on the fruit so nothing else needs to get in the jar.

[erryfleming11k]

That is one "open" video. =p

[MaTchBoOkPoEt]

thanks~!

good to know.. for when the world collapses

[kassu789]

Now I feel like making my own bread haha

[fookingsoc]

fascinating!....seems to be very much like sourdough bread!....Looks Good!

[NadrianATRS]

The jaaahs?

[picaticatara]

dont do this for consumption! if you ever see any mould pour some bleach in it and throw it in a furnace most common moulds make endotoxins which will assrape your liver in the mouth and kill u

[quad2004]

At first i thought she was making old time wine.

the bacteria eats the sugar and turns into alcohol as it ferments.

I might try it next time i make a carboy boy wine with the cake at the bottom after the first rack. in wine making i do believe this to be called wild yeast.

[quad2004]

@quad2004 OH, ps. adding a little sugar with the flower might help it out a little. just remember Yeast loves sugar, that is how it multiplies. And yes it must not be air tight at the end or you have a bottle bomb. when yeast eats the sugar it puts off a gas. When i make wine I have air locks to allow the gas to escape but no air in. Lemon is Really hard to get to ferment but can be done with another cake from a starter.

[viewervideo011242234]

I tried this with raisins and it didnt start AT ALL! - I notice that vegatable oil was also added: would this affect it at all?

[quad2004]

@viewervideo011242234 At the end with the oil they were making the bread with the starter.

[Cr9713]

What is the measurement and recipe?

[DAILEYericCaryUSA]

Real good English but that stuff...yuck.

[tysswe1]

can you make yast frome all citrus fruits?

[mbmanbat]

You thing you can make wine with this yeast

[Pru2100]

Hi, is she using fresh fruits? dried fruit isnt ok? Just to reconfirm, after filtered, jz add flour (any kind of flour eg. multi purpose flour)? Must use immediately or how long can we store n how to store?

[Verradonairun]

@Pru2100

1) Dried fruit/fresh fruit doesn't really matter, as long as you soak it thoroughly and it contains ALOT of sugar.

2) Multi-purpose flour may be used for the next step.

3) Theoretically yeast can be stored indefinitely. Yeast goes into a state of dormancy once all of it's food is gone. However yeast can die if stored at too high a temperature.

Hope this helps. :)

[MrSlowskie]

sorry didn't work , youtube search " Water, Consciousness & Intent: Dr. Masaru Emoto"

[Darkrainb0w]

Do you think it would work well with raspberrys?

Also I've only got tap water like dogbone222. Is bottled water spring water?

[dogbone222]

do i have to use spring water because i only have tap water available unless bottled water really does come from a spring

[5001babyphat]

Hmm The Person Who Hit Dislike, Thought It Said Dis I Like :)

[KesslersCross]

Thanks you so much for your video...but your voice is putting me to sleep

[americanboy130]

freakin awesome!!!! thanks for the vid and one person can get a life

[Somnien]

Can you use raisens that have sugar in them?

[Vwatcher12]

Thank you this is very useful :]

[sillyjontag321]

when you make yeast, after you add flour to it and it rises like it did at the end of the video, do you have to use it right away or will it go bad if you don't?

[sillyjontag321]

I'm gonna try this!! :)

[firedracula]

ありがとう、美穂さん

[thebacktobasics1]

This is great video

[wscottart]

I'm very curious, using the different fruits (essence) to create the yeast does this affect the flavor of the breads you create? How careful do we need to be, I mean can this stuff make us sick?

[thefirstgoldengate]

After wasting a 5:42 min of my life Time I realized Normal yeast is faster, easier, and cheaper to be USED..........

[toncarmelo]

@thefirstgoldengate And what about the flavour? 

[sallyos06460]

@thefirstgoldengate LOL I know.

[fatmanplaying]

@thefirstgoldengate Sadly you missed the whole point of this video.

Several of which are:

Having more knowledge and being able to do this for yourself.

Also it has been said to be healthier, easy to digest and tastes better.

As for the time issue think how much time you could save by leaving

a few less sarcastic comments you could then make your own yeast!

Is-int learning fun!

[pandagirl4561]

How would I change the recipe that I am useing so that instead of using Dry yeast I use natural yeast?

[neoalphaone]

did anyone one else notice that the jar she said "thank you...grow up healthy and strong" to was the only jar that was successful? =)

[FightWithCudgels]

@neoalphaone must be magic



[thenorwegian1000]

do we store the finished yeast in the refrigerator or just leave it out on the counter

I was able to make two batches out of the same raisins and it is still strong

[thenorwegian1000]

do we store the finished yeast in the refrigerator or just leave it out on the counter

[thenorwegian1000]

After you put the flour in the liquid, u closed it up again and then did u store it in the refrigerator or just out on the counter.?

after you use some of it for bread do u feed it like sourdough starter or do you have to start all over again with new raisins? Please exsplain.

Thank you

[WyshfulThinking]

Très vidéo informative. Merci pour l'upload.

[BuildingIntelligence]

learn something new everyday /

[agrowthnerd]

very informative

[romacki]

because store bought yeast is so unnatural

[WeedBrosInc]

do you think this yeast would be good for making homemade rum?

[Selrise]

@Rgomex246 I don't claim to be an expert or anything but it appears you just use raisins and basically when you start have 1 batch starting each day and then after 2 weeks you will have a constant one batch is done one batch is done one batch is done. Just like a factory they don't wait until the first car is done to start the second.

[thetylerdallasshow]

that mold that grew on the grapes

[peacelovehippychick]

love this episode sooo much. I tried this and got mold because I didn't boil the jar first. The second batch came out just like Miho's. And I DID say "thank you" and "I love you" every morning when I opened the jar. I can't wait to make bread! :oD

[boxa888]

@peacelovehippychick HOW DID IT TURN OUT?? that sounds great!!

[americanboy130]

@peacelovehippychick yeah apparently if it ferments to fast u get mold, cuz mold comes from fungus and yeast is a type of fungus

[jazznut50]

@peacelovehippychick Getting mold has nothing to do with boiling the jar. It's because the mixture was not fermenting. If it ferments, there will be no mold, regardless of whether you started with boiling the jar or not.

[peacelovehippychick]

@jazznut50 thank you. ok so what caused it not to ferment? i did everything she did except i used boxed raisins instead of japanese rasins. i may give it another try... kinda like a science experiment.

[redKeinenUnsinn]

@peacelovehippychick boil the jar?

[rgomez246]

I wish to make my own bread so this helps a lot :) I plan on growing wheat and refining it the old fashion way into flour and adding the yeast to make bread. Just one question? How do you make the yeast last a week before a new batch can be ready?

[BluSUBsound]

@rgomez246 wow same. tell me if you find, or know a way to grind wheat without a machine. thank you

[averyhappywoman]

Thanks for posting! This will help us return to our roots and do things simpler without relying on store-bought stuff which is full of chemicals and synthetics. Thanks >.<

[kjaks]

I'm going to try this myself, as my plums in my garden have started getting yeast on the surface. I'll try it with red currant and black currant and maybe apples as well. I'll probably give the flour a boil before cooling it and adding it to the natural yeast solution. If it works well I'll freeze it for later use.

[Goatboy44spl]

@grevandole Yep totally simple!

[ashleyjamesdoran]

so with that comment about this being able to be used in wine, could this also be used to ferment ales and beers, and what sort taste will this rasin yeast impart on the final product?

[Goatboy44spl]

@ashleyjamesdoran Yes this is how folks made booze for thousands of years. It tastes about the same as any other yeast as far as I can tell. The bubbles are finer and there is more of a cap than with storebought yeasts, but the taste is not much different.

[glorystitcher]

THANK YOU sooooooooooo much, I have wanted to know for 30 years how people did this in old days when there was no store to go and buy yeast. Grateful!!!

[Shiiransama]

how do I store the liquid and the natural yeast (after mixing with flour)?

[boblee666]

eat all dat nasty mole

[johnhyater]

can i use this yeast to make wine too? plz help

[EridanTheEnchanter]

@johnhyater

Just strain the liquid and put it in your wine. I made mead using raisins that ended at 16% by volume.

[Goatboy44spl]

@johnhyater Absolutely yes you can!

[BeeRich33]

@johnhyater yes, but it's better to use commercial strains. All of this is S. cerevisiae, but this technique will propagate wild strains that grew on the grapes. Research how to keep a wine culture in your fridge.

[gellegbs]

I found an old American cook book from the 1800 before commercial yeast and they made it with potatoes back then..no refrigeration so your yeast stayed out. In reality you do not need refrigeration to eat well if you shop everyday like most our ancestors did.

[kjaks]

@gellegbs I wouldn't have used potatoes or any vegetable or fruit that has been in contact with soil. There are lots of nasty bacteria in the soil that can produce toxins when given the right conditions, but hey, they survived.

[nuspickle]

Extraordinary.

[wingsuitfreak]

Thanks. I love to know how things are done and this helped out a lot.

[sototozo]

Fascinating, I always wondered how yeast was made in the traditional way.

[slocar1]

wonderfull video very informative I can't wait to try this method.

Thanks for posting.

[kyral210]

This is so stupid! ALL yeast is natural! If it wasn't a living organism then it wouldn't ferment causing CO2 and alcohol to be produced. What she means is a different kind of yeast, there are thousands of types!

[calebiskkkool]

could this yeast be used to brew beer?

[funkmasterchilly]

most people will tell you than you don't want wild yeast in your beer. but yes it will ferment sugar. so you can always give it a try. the worst thing that will happen is your beer will taste bad. and you run a slight risk of giving your beer a bacterial infection

[7itha]

NICE.. =)

[twin7819]

Such a great video. Thanks, Sarah!

[debbyellen1]

Thank you for letting me know this was up! it's awesome and I'm going to give it a try. I wonder why the other fruits didn't work. did she have any idea? Did you ask her? Why did the one mold? Did you peel the mold off? what if you had crushed the soaked fruits? Would that have produced better results? Thanks again!

[FreeTalkLive]

@debbyellen1 Maye it was the part where she talks to the yeast and tiny bits of saliva landed into the jar. Saliva has tons of bacteria in it. Silence is golden.

[Hikosaemon]

I wasn't expecting to watch this for long, but I was drawn in... this was actually a really cool vid, even though I had no expectation that I would find it interesting - always a sure sign that you've done a good job making it.

Choice :)

[thatamericangirl]

That's really cool. Did she offer any insight as to why the other two batches failed? Also, does the type of fruit (or veggie) you make the yeast from affect the flavor of the bread at all? I was thinking that bread made from cabbage yeast might not be that great... and I love cabbage!

[JapanPlz]

Very intersting! I'll have to keep this in mind

[Tubenjunge]

me either...looks fantastic and i think raisins as yeast must give delicicious bread. Yummy..thanks for this.Great as always,

[ethlinnintheglow]

:O

That looks GREAT!!

I am so going to try this at home :D

[MasOvaltinePls]

That was so fun to watch.
