what about yeast to make sour beer....
Lactobacillus.....google that...
Lactobacillus isn't yeast - it's bacteria.

QUESTION OF THE DAY
When do you turn on the heat in your house for the cold weather?
We usually wait a while.
The lovely bride says November.
I, many times, don't make it that long.
I guess this question doesn't compute to all of us?
I have not yet delved into homebrewing, but I did get a nice Mr. Beer kit for my birthday. Now I know full well that Mr. Beer is to homebrewing what Duncan Hines is to baking, but I do wanna dip my toes in before jumping off the high dive.
As for yeast, on the first Sunday of every month I get up really early and start the bread machine in the sanctuary for communion. On communion Sundays the whole church smells like fresh baked bread. My recipe calls for allowing the yeast to foam in hot sugar water before adding the oil, salt, and flour. The only difficult part is to not get the water too hot or it will kill the yeast. So on more than one occasion, it's been a big dense lump of gluten that smelled fabulous.
You and me both, shortly after my dad died I was talking with mom one day and she was saying that when I was born people didn't plan pregnancies.
Accidental pregnancies? I was born in the early fifties to an unwed teenager, and immediately put up for adoption. Yeah, I'm guessing it wasn't planned....

Or you could get, gasp!, something used. Our friends have some vehicles called mules. Kinda like heavy-duty golf carts.
I've been using dry yeast - safale US04 and safale US05.
We planned both our girls (Ben was planned, too - different marriage...). For Emma we said, "Let's start trying now" and BOOM. Pregnant.
For Annie we said "Let's start trying now" and...well...four years, multiple doctors, a couple of surgical procedures, three rounds of fertility treatments and a donor egg later...BOOM. Pregnant.
I use a thermometer but realistically the water has to be body temp.. aim for something comfortable and not hot, and you'll be ok
