can you use active dry yeast (for bread dough and such) to start a fermentation?

Gotta remember to wake em up! warm water activates the yeast I believe...
yes i did wake em up, i started it in warm water and some brown sugar to munch on, and now the mash is bubbling like mad.
I used
1/2 packet dry yeast
a pinch of warm water
a pinch of brown sugar to get it started
2 cups various superhot puree
half red onion chopped really fine
1/2 ripe mango (peeled and chopped really fine)
some honey
and warm water to cover it all.
and put it in a jar with an airlock

Actually. No you can't. Yeast us fine for brewing Beer or Mead but for peppers we use Lactibacillus bacteria. Just get a tub of plain yogurt and let it separate. Drain off the watery part and add it to your pepper mash. If you'll read through the Fermentation 101 thread it's all explained there. Also keep in mind that when fermentation is complete you'll need to add a sweetener if you were wanting a sweet sauce. The sugars in the fruit you added will be eaten up as part of the process.
If RocketMan says you cant,... then you probably cant! He is the fermenting guru! I think I am going to try fermenting.
