‘Making yeast’? Well, pioneer women used to pass their ’sourdough’ from hand to hand. That stuff was like gold. But you can pick up yeast by mixing flour, water and putting it out in the open air to pick up airborne yeasts..but you’ll also pick up fungus as well. Bakers yeast comes from the brewing industry.

Toby, is there a way to make yeast? How did the pioneer women do this? I’ve heard of them keeping yeast dough cooled or in a jar or some such thing. Is there a way to do that or to make yeast from whatever yeast comes from?
should i just google this?
