Australia suggests Vegemite sales limit amid 'alcohol abuse'

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-33839742

Well I never..

Tried Kraft's vegemite once, never again will I go near that stuff it was awful.

There are so many different ways to make moonshine that putting limits on condiment sales seems nothing short of a desperation move.

Maybe they'll have to resort to getting vegemite from a man in Brussels. Six foot four and full of muscle.

Do these noob shiners realize they can make their own yeast with some potatos, warm water and sugar? Back in the day we didnt have vegimite, turbo or brewers yeast.

I'll give them my family hooch recipe, no store bought items required. Quality shine.

Like haggis, it's definitely a food with a love it or hate it relationship.

I remember reading that vegemite was introduced as a wartime substitute for marmite. I'm sure some would quickly amend that to 'warcrime' substitute.

Well, at last, a use for vegemite has been found.

And it's not too kinky.

Wait what? That doesn't make any sense at all.

Last I checked Vegemite/Marmite is salty as hell, which would kill off all living yeast inside it (yeast HATE salt). Second, brewers yeast is pretty much all dead spent yeast that is collected after brewing where the alcohol has killed off 99% of the yeast and settled to the bottom as sediment. Plus brewers yeast is not prepared in a way that protect hibernating yeast to keep it alive, so there is almost no chance of any living yeast being found in it. This is why Brewer's Yeast is not used in making beer or ale, its a byproduct of making beer and ale.

The article and concept that you could use Vegemite to make moonshine is utterly idiotic and who ever came up with it knows absolutely nothing about brewing or shining. Seriously that has to be one of the dumbest things I've read in a long while.

PS Torplexed, she looks like she is covered in black mold.

It comes across to me as a mixture of Nutella and motor oil. But then I'm not up on Vegemite facials as I don't live in the bucolic territory of Not Safe Wales.

Torp, I've fixed the sentence about haggis for you.

Thanks. I did try some my one time in Scotland. I even made a good faith effort and had seconds.

But in the end I had to go the Mike Meyers route with full apologies to poet Robert Burns.

I made a similar effort one New Years Eve and spat it out in seconds.

@ XabbaRus: have you got a Haggis Alarm on your pc or something? You always seem to know when someone starts disrespecting the haggis. Anyway, it's vile...
