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 just to add I did more reading and technically they’re using a Lactobacillus which is a bacteria and not a yeast. Which makes more sense as that’s what’s responsible for yeast infections, just to add to the yuck factor.

      I wonder, if someone were to explain the actual science behind it, if people would still want to buy it? Because this is not sounding any better.
