yeast propagation

Yeast propagation involves growing yeast cells in a controlled environment to produce enough for baking or brewing. Typically, a small amount of active yeast is mixed with a nutrient-rich liquid, like sugar water, at an optimal temperature. The yeast cells consume the sugars and multiply rapidly. This process creates a larger yeast culture, which can then be used to ferment dough or liquids, producing carbon dioxide and alcohol. Maintaining proper hygiene, temperature, and nutrients is essential to ensure healthy yeast growth and consistent results.
