So according to the Australian Indigenous Affairs minister, there’s viable yeast in Vegemite because it’s being used in moonshine. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-33839742
For a truly authentic Aussie Sparking Ale, pitch how many tbsp of Vegemite per plato? :o
I’ve been trying to figure out what they are using the Vegemite for. It seemed like the articles were being purposely vague. I can’t imagine it is for the yeast because the articles are talking about large purchases and yeast is easy to grow
First they came for the Vegemite and I didn’t say anything …
Just like a government to blame the product and not the underlying causes. :

I said “do you speak’o my language?”
He just smiled and gave me a vegemite Ale?
You can make sangria in the toilet. Course, it’s shank or be shanked.
Isn’t “vegemite” something from an “I love Lucy” show? Vita…meata…vegamin?? Check it out in this old clip. Funny stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2Z264w9_2Q
I wonder if it’s possible to distill out the nastiness. Vegemite is the most vile stuff I’ve ever tried (although I have yet to try durian or lutefisk, so there is room for it to be knocked from it’s perch).
I tried durian once at 9:00 in the morning with a hangover. It didn’t go well…
Gefilte fish gives me the boaks big time.
Vegamite is autolyzed yeast extract.
I think he was making a joke. That is one of the best bits from Lucy. She got so tanked. I also remember a bit from Mama’s Family with vanilla extract getting everybody tossed.
My wife keeps Marmite around. I may toss some in my last runnings some time and see what happens. I imagine it will be nasty if it’s autolyzed.
I ate durian in Kuala Lumpur once. I bought it on the street and the building right in front of it had a sign on the door with a durian crossed out in red. They were not allowed in the building.
