Brewers yeast ?

[MegaSpokaneMan]

Yo,

Anyone ever try using yeast used for home brew / wine making for fermenting hot sauce ? Can it be done ?

Yes I have done it. Someone else here is a big proponent but I can't remember who. Essentially you are making pepper wine. It is not the same fermentation as say what you get with tobasco or using yogurt. Given the relatively low sugar content of your must or mash I would add a butt load of sugar.

Nothing wrong with using brewers yeast it is just different and will have a different taste. The heat will be there. I used turbo yeast.
