Has anyone tried reusing their yeast from brewing for baking bread?
I've heard that using some of the spent grain in bread recipes works well, but I'm curious if brewing yeasts are significantly different from those used baking that it would produce some not-so-great tasting bread? The guys at Basic Brewing did an experiment brewing a pale ale with bread yeast and baking bread with Safale They said the bread came out tasting like But keep in mind that Safale is pretty neutral strain.
Your more funky strains will probably end up in more funky bread. Here's the link to the video. I know people who do this all the time and their breads are very good, never too dense. You have to remember to treat it like sourdough though. Sourdough yeast takes a long time to rise bread between 6 and 12 hours and beer yeast performs very similarly. The "heaviness" or "denseness" all of the other posts refer to is simply because they did not give the bread enough time to rise.
So to answer your question, no, you can't take a baker's yeast recipe and substitute beer yeast in for it and get the same result, but if you follow sourdough recipes, you will be very pleasantly surprised, especially if you're making more rustic type breads like French breads and ciabatta. The comment PMV made about using bakers yeast with it is another shortcut you can use to make bread with your beer yeast, a lot of sourdough bakers do that all of the time.
Here is an interesting thread on Chowhound that discusses using beer yeast to make bread, and even harvesting beer yeast from bottles to make bread. Use leftover yeast to make pretzels! So good when their warm and the perfect accompaniment to fresh Beer. Oil a bowl and drop in dough to rise, let rise covered in a warm place. It will double in size in hours. Break the dough into 8 balls and roll out into pretzels, dunk in the baking soda for 30 seconds and transfer to a greased baking sheet.
I've been maintaining a starter for about 4 months that I originally cultured from the sludge at the bottom of the primary. I believe it was an American Ale yeast. I treat it just like a sourdough starter.
I keep the reserved starter it in the fridge between uses and feed white flour about once a week when I take some for baking. It works great to raise bread and acts just like a sourdough starter except there is not much 'sour' taste.
I don't use supplemental bakers yeast. I let the first rise go at least 12 hours and often a full The second rise takes much less time--maybe hours. I think treating it like sourdough and giving it all the extra time is the key to getting a nice light crumb. I don't particularly like adding much spent grain to bread recipes, it makes the bread too heavy IMO. However, using brewing yeast, either fresh or from a slurry is a great addition. I've had great results with leftover lager yeast.
I include the slurry in the liquid portion of the bread. In the morning I stir in and knead the rest of the flour, then rise at room temperature. Sometimes a couple of tablespoons sugar per 2 cups liquid is needed to keep the yeast going.
Make sure your flour has some malt in it, as usual for bread yeast. I tried it once. The bread was very dense. I put me in mind of Terry Pratchett's dwarf bread. It was useless for the fine art of sammichery, but worked well for hors d'oeuvres. Herrings, strong cheese. After getting the wort into the primary, I made a double batch of whole wheat bread and added all my leftover specialty grains to it. For this kit, the grains were 0. When you are looking to make bread or beer with the same kind of yeast, you are probably going to reach for active dry yeast.
That said, instant yeast is also marketed as bread machine yeast or rapid rise yeast. It is one of the more shelf-stable forms of yeast and can be used in a number of recipes.
Active dry yeast, on the other hand, must be introduced first to a warmer liquid for it to be activated. The main concern in baking is having enough CO2 to get the bread to rise. Depending on what a baker is making, they might include cake wet yeast, active dry yeast, instant yeast, or wild yeast for sourdough. Yeast is either added to the wet or dry ingredients, depending on what is being made.
Most definitely. Remember, our friend S. Why not experiment? Both yeasts can transform sugars and starches into CO2 and ethanol alcohol.
