So is it BAKING or BREWING ingredients that you are looking for? ;) :bunny:

It's baking. All of this ingredients are used to make breads and oher stuff.



A doctor prescribed it for me to control diaherria (sp?). I THINK we got it at he Farmacia, or maybe the ferreterria. Not certain since it was last year, early.

I think I wasn't too clear as to what I was looking for.
I meant beer yeast as in the yeast you used to bake breads or brew alcohol; not the supplements, lol.

One DOES NOT use BEER YEAST to make bread with.
You can buy regular Bread yeast in the supermercados, like La Serena and National. In fact, I make my own bread and that is where I buy all my ingredients. The yeast comes in a one-pound package. Be surea nd check the EXPIRATION DATE, itherwise, you'll get some that is outdated and won't work.
Have you made your own bread in the past??
From what you are asking for, I would guess you haven't.
Geat on the internet and look up Bread making for extensive instructions, else you'll end up with a hard rock of a loaf that won't rise as it should.
Making bread is an art; that's why we have professional bakers.

I appreciate your help, Texas Bill.
I haven't made many breads, I admit.
I had met a man once, german-argentinian, who made a wonderful bread, rather nutty. He told me he used "levadura de cerverza" (beer yeast) I had thought of trying to attempt a rather similiar concoction.

I personally think that that individual was making fun of you in some form or another because BEER YEAST just isn't for making good bread. I don't think you will "get a rise" out of your ingredients if you use it.
Try it if you must, but you'll be grossly dissap[ointed.
