I'm making my own yeast. I know...

I can't recall how I came up with the idea. It just kind of came to me. I was sitting on the couch and googled "make your own yeast." I found this video which used a variety of fruits to make natural homemade yeast for baking. The raisins that were used worked the best, but it was an 8+ day process. Do I really want to make it that bad? Sure, why not. I have raisins, and water! And yeast isn't cheap. And it was easy enough to start.

Day 1

Throw some raisins into a glass jar, and fill halfway with water. Screw on the lid, give a little shake, and wait till tomorrow...


Day 3

Here's my yeast experiment on day 3. The raisins have sucked up a lot of the water. We'll see how it goes.
