Is there really yeast p**p in beer?

Question

my daughter told me last night that yeast excretion or p**p is the main ingrediant for beer. I happen to love beer.......she is just trying to gross me out no?

Answer 1

The main ingredient of beer is water, well over 90% of it.

Yeast only "p**p" in the sense that they convert sugar in to CO2 and ethyl alcohol so that is how they drop the kids off at the pool so to speak.

I also nearly pissed myself laughing at the person that said yeast aren't living.

Answer 2

Well, she's not exactly wrong.  "yeast p**p" is actually alcohol, a byproduct yeast create.  During fermentation of beer/wine the yeast consume sugars and oxygen and "convert" it to alcohol and CO2, giving you a wonderfully complex beverage and the carbonation for it!

Answer 3

yeast p**p?

Yeast is not a living, breathing thing. Therefore, it cannot p**p.

Beer is produced by brewing and the fermentation of starches derived from cereals. The most common cereal for beer brewing is malted barley, although wheat, corn, and rice are also widely used, usually in conjunction with barley. Most beer is flavoured with hops, which adds a slightly bitter taste and acts as a natural preservative.

Answer 4

I think yeast p**p is alcohol.

Yeast converts sugar into alcohol and CO2.

Answer 5

hahaha good one! sorry yeast cant p**p

Answer 6

As a biological function of yeast metabolism of sugar it produces ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. These are excreted with much the same purpose we urinate and defecate. So yes yeast p**p is in beer-wine-whiskey, etc.

Answer 7

I suppose you can call alcohol and CO2 p**p.
