I was going to ask if anyone had heard of spreading active yeast on toast and floating it in a bin full of wine must but I don't know where this thread would end up!

I have heard of that one Seadart, but never tried it, you'd think the soggy bread would make the wine cloudy wouldn't you?

My ex had a wine recipe book from way back it was like a Mrs Beaton but she took it with her.

I seem to remember it saying use egg shells to clear the wine after the floating of the yeast but I could be wrong. Anyway it was worth posting on here for the fun lol

But..............  I did try something like it years ago and it was no use as a drink but cured a particularly nasty rash on the nether regions.  And I don't mean Holland.

You sure that wasn't yoghurt?

The toast trick was a way of top fermenting I think, rather than having all the yeast in the bottom (please don't!)
