 biology - Yeast
Yeast is a group of single-celled (unicellular) fungi a few species of which are commonly used to leaven bread and ferment alcoholic beverages.
In brewing, the ethanol is bottled, while in baking the carbon dioxide raises the bread, and the ethanol evaporates.
The yeast genome database [1] is highly annotated and remains a very important tool for developing basic knowledge about the function and organization of eukaryotic cell genetics and physiology.

Yeast contaminated with beer spoilage bacteria may either be replaced with a pure culture or washed with acids such as phosphoric acid (45), ammonium persulfate (27), or a combination thereof (7), thereby eliminating the necessity for replacement.
Yeast cells readily take up monosaccharides by facilitated diffusion (120) but di- and trisaccharides enter the cell by means of a permease system (92, 93) which is inducible in some strains, constitutive in others.
Hydrogen sulfide is generated during yeast metabolism and depends, in brewery fermentation, on the yeast strain used, the temperature, and the wort composition (123).

 Yeast Guide - Beer Advocate
Yeast are single-celled microorganisms that reproduce by budding.
Lager yeast strains are best used at temperatures ranging from 7 to 15°C. At these temperatures, lager yeasts grow less rapidly than ale yeasts, and with less surface foam they tend to settle out to the bottom of the fermenter as fermentation nears completion.
He wasn't the first to discover yeast, but in 1860 Louis Pasteur proved that fermentation is caused by living organisms and asserted that the agents which are responsible for the reaction are connected with the yeast cell.

Yeasts need valene, which is present in light malts, but less so in darker malts.
It seems that it's better for yeast destined for repitching to be removed from the fermenter before the alcohol level reaches 5.25%: above this level, the alcohol is toxic to the yeast, and the surviving yeast will create more diacetyl.
The difference is that they're subtle in a Weizen yeast, whereas the ones generated by baker's yeast tend to have a medicinal character.

 How to Brew - By John Palmer - Introduction
Where one book would recommend using baking yeast and covering the fermenting beer with a towel, a later book would insist on brewing yeast and perhaps an airlock.
Brewing is an art as well as a science.
For instance, adding the yeast to the beer wort: the emphasis was to get the yeast fermenting as soon as possible to prevent unwanted competing yeasts or microbes from getting a foothold.

 [No title]
Yeast refers to the unicellular phase of the life cycles of many different fungi, but it is used more commonly as a generic term for fungi that have only a unicellular phase.
Yeast grow equally well in liquid media or on a nutrient surface such as an agar plate or an exposed surface of some kind of food.
The simplicity of the sexual cycle in yeast and the ease with which all the events can be manipulated and observed provides a unique opportunity for teaching this normally obscure and abstract process through simple, direct, concrete observations.

 MBAA TQ - High gravity wort clarity and its effect on brewing yeast performance.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Experiments are described in which the fermentative performance of a lager yeast in clear and cloudy worts, prepared from the same grist, and in a model solution was compared.
It was found that yeast performance was in fact poorer in the cloudy wort, with reduced growth, slower attenuation, higher residual free amino nitrogen at the end of fermentation and poorer beer quality, even when the wort was well aerated and a carbon dioxide nucleation stimulant was added.
The adhesion of particles from cloudy wort to the yeast cells was considered likely to be the main cause of the problems.

 Yeast Information and Technique Resource
The attenuation is determined by the composition of the wort or juice and the yeast strain used.
Combine the hydrated yeast with 1-2 gallons of wort that is as close to the wort to be fermented as possible.
For ale yeast all of these numbers are reduced by a factor of two, so (3/2) to 2 cups of an ale yeast culture would be sufficient.

A comprehensive kinetic model of yeast propagation in breweries is introduced.
A relationship between the temperature and the variable parameters could be extracted, which allowed predictive simulations of the yeast propagation process using non-isothermal trajectories.
It was shown, that with a precise adjustment of trajectories of both, temperature and dissolved oxygen, the crop time of the inoculum could be varied within a period of 7 to 50 h to maintain high fermentation activity for the subsequent anaerobic fermentation.

The "tried and true" method of washing yeast utilizes phosphoric acid (H3PO4) to acidify the yeast slurry to around pH 2, where it is held for a given amount of time, ranging from two hours to overnight.
The healthy yeast remains suspended and is used for pitching, while dead cells and trub collect at the bottom of the washing vessel.
Breweries that use chlorine dioxide to wash yeast begin with a measured amount of sodium chlorite solution, which is "activated" to release ClO2 by pouring it into a small amount of acidified water.

The optimum fermentation performance of the one stage immobilized cell bioreactor was achieved at residence times between 18-25 h (dilution rate 0.04-0.055 h-1) and was characterized by an apparent degree of attenuation in the range of 70-80%.
Although the diacetyl concentration in the young beer was high (0.32 mg L-1 at D = 0.04 h-1) it is speculated that the level could be reduced by cell growth control, aeration and temperature optimisation.
The immobilized yeast fermentation in the ALR was shown to be robust in recovery after process upsets.

On one side of the debate was the laudable if possibly naïve suggestion that the success of even a mediocre local brewery might spur the development of other, better operations, while the contrary position took the approach that only beers of character were worthy of support, regardless of brewery size or geographical position.
To the supporters of the latter view, a craft brewed beer with a mainstream taste was no better than a mainstream brew mass-produced by the mega-brewers.
Case in point is Pilsner Urquell, a beer produced in very large qualtities a long distance away by one of the largest brewing companies in the world, SAB Miller.

The Mesa County sheriff's department recently confiscated two toothpaste tubes full of brewer's yeast that somebody tried to smuggle into the county jail.
What raised eyebrows was the source: the yeast, which can be used to make "jailhouse hooch," was found packed in with some uniforms shipped from a South Carolina jail-item supply company.
Hilkey said he figured either an inmate made a connection with a worker at the company's distribution center or somebody intercepted the package and repackaged the items with the yeast inside.
