Amouranth, the Kick streamer, is allegedly brewing beer with her vaginal yeast. It’s an obvious publicity stunt to squeeze more money from her impressionable and “thirsty” audience.

Gross-factor aside, is this even possible? Is it analogous to brewer’s yeast? Would this cause undesirable side effects or introduce undesirable compounds?

    Also not all yeast strains convert sugar into alcohol, the strain in question in this case will only produce lactic acid.

      I was wondering about that! I wasn’t sure what strain it was and didn’t really want to look it up, haha. Very good point, though!

        Just to add technically I’m wrong, they’re using a Lactobacillus not a yeast.
