Grapes brought in from harvest are usually teeming with a variety of "wild yeast" from the Kloeckera and Candida genera. These yeasts often begin the fermentation process almost as soon as the grapes are picked when the weight of the clusters in the harvest bins begin to crush the grapes, releasing the sugar-rich must. [4]
Yeast need a reliable source of nitrogen in forms that they can assimilate in order to successfully complete fermentation. Yeast assimilable nitrogen or YAN is the combination of free amino nitrogen (FAN), ammonia (NH 3) and ammonium (NH 4 +) that is available for a yeast, e.g. the wine yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, to use during fermentation.
Yeast is used in winemaking, where it converts the sugars present (glucose and fructose) in grape juice into ethanol. Yeast is normally already present on grape skins. Fermentation can be done with this endogenous "wild yeast", [69] but this procedure gives unpredictable results, which depend upon the exact types of yeast species present. For ...

Saccharomyces cerevisiae (/ ˌ s ɛr ə ˈ v ɪ s i. iː /) (brewer's yeast or baker's yeast) is a species of yeast (single-celled fungal microorganisms). The species has been instrumental in winemaking, baking, and brewing since ancient times. It is believed to have been originally isolated from the skin of grapes.
The natural occurrence of fermentation means it was probably first observed long ago by humans. [3] The earliest uses of the word "fermentation" in relation to winemaking was in reference to the apparent "boiling" within the must that came from the anaerobic reaction of the yeast to the sugars in the grape juice and the release of carbon dioxide.
Close to 200,000 of them are served each year at the Florida Strawberry Festival, an 11-day event celebrating Eastern Hillsborough County’s strawberry harvest. Laura B./Yelp Georgia: Peach Cobbler
Analysis of the yeast cultivated from Maier's beard showed that it was a new strain, perhaps a hybrid incorporating genes from Rogue's house yeast called "Pacman". [1] [4] [10] Beverages produced with local American native yeast are collectively known as the American wild ale style, of which Beard Beer is an example. [11]
