    Unless Jimmy can brew good beer with the right yeast, it doesn't prove anything when he produces bad beer with the wrong yeast.

    This yep. Ive made good alcohol using bakers yeast before. Its about knoing how to use the tools youre given. Brewers yeast is just better at making alcohol without as much effort

    your beer probably wouldn’t have tested a whole lot better with traditional ale yeast seeing how you forgot to use hops. Also you have to boil the wort

    You can by pre-hopped liquid malt extract. You don’t “have” to boil with an extract brew, although I’d be a little worried about sanitation.

    I know a recipe that does not require boiling the wort, but the hops must be added into the wort in a cup of hot water.

    No grain or hops? That's like a weird rum mash more than a beer lol, I've made wine with bread yeast and it's alright, sure a decent brewer could put out an alright beer with bread yeast, especially considering wild yeasted beers exist

    Yeah... You can brew good alcohol from bakers yeast; you just need to do more to it than youve done here. Proper aging and backsweetening as well as not using too much sugar from the start is more critically important. When youre using bakers yeast its near impossible to reach more than 8% ABV as well; so it will generally taste too sweet and not alcoholic enuf if you just use the same steps used to brew an ale

    I change out the yeast with bread yeast. I just let it age for about 2 months and the bread yeast flavor comes down and I get buzzed

    um there's a lot more wrong with his "dump into bucket" recipe than the yeast lol! I've brewed with bread yeast in a pinch, and the biggest difference is that it takes a lot longer to clear... a LOT longer.... It also produces more off flavors than beer yeast.

    Ratio of CO2 to Ethanol produced is stochiometric (ie it is a chemical reaction ratio) and always the same regardless of yeast used (please don't yeah..but, I know you are going to talk about cogeners vs ethanol but the amount is not significant). The reason you are disappointed is because the flavour profile is wrong for the beer you were trying to make. There are literally hundreds of different varieties of yeast that are used for beer, all giving different profiles. I'm also going to guess that the "bakers" yeast you used is more "attenuative" - ie it ate up more of the complex sugars that your expected to be present in the beer to give it the flavour you were looking for and the correct mouthfeel. Cheers

    The trick to making alcohol taste good when made from brewers yeast is to age it for a good long time and ideally backsweeten it to give it the flavours that it needs.
