Australia Moonshine

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.
