Amouranth, the Kick streamer, is allegedly brewing beer with her vaginal yeast. It’s an obvious publicity stunt to squeeze more money from her impressionable and “thirsty” audience.

Gross-factor aside, is this even possible? Is it analogous to brewer’s yeast? Would this cause undesirable side effects or introduce undesirable compounds?

    You can make alcohol with wild yeasts but it’s not as controlled of a process.

    Several drinks have “store barrel in cave/shed in specific region” as a manufacturing step, specifically because of the wild yeast in the area.

    But only a small number, because making people violently sick is a poor business strategy.
