Tequila Talk: Yeast
December 21, 2010
You throw out the term "yeast" and it's gonna mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. More than just making the dough rise, yeast is also key to the fermentation process that results in some mighty fine Tequila. While many people know that yeast is important to the process you may not know how. Yeast is a living organism that consumes sugar and converts it into alcohol and carbon dioxide. The remaining liquid is then distilled to form Tequila among other spirits.
