  • One of the key bits of fermentation is that the conditions need to be pretty close to perfect for yeast to be a dominant Factor. You need to have a relatively sterile environment, you definitely need to make sure that there’s nothing else competing, and you need to make sure that you’re within certain factors of things like acidity. Stomach acid has a pH of 1-2, most brewable juices are closer to 3-4.

    Some microbes do end up surviving the journey through your stomach, and they become the microbiome inside of you. I think that brewer’s yeast would find that environment extremely challenging more than the stomach even because that microbiome is like skid row, filled with the dregs of the food you eat. The spoiled rich kid brewers yeast isn’t going to thrive in that environment.

    Consider a piece of advice from cider brewing: you are sometimes told if you don’t have yeast to just juice the fruit without washing it and natural yeast on the fruit will grow in your cider and if you’re successful it’ll taste better than beer brewer’s yeast. This shows that yeast is everywhere and it’s on many things we might routinely eat and people aren’t going around naturally drunk after eating an apple off a tree or some berries off a bush.









  • The way I’ve got it set up is I have a Nextcloud\Desktop, Nextcloud\Downloads, Nextcloud\Documents, Nextcloud\Pictures, and Nextcloud\Videos folder, and on each machine I use I point each of those points in windows to use the folder in the nextcloud folder instead of my users folder, then I run the official client to sync the entire nextcloud folder. By doing that, whichever computer I’m on I’ve got the same stuff in my main folders and anything else I have I can keep in the nextcloud folder. I’ve also got it on my mobile device just to automatically upload new pictures to the InstantUploads folder, but the app is a bit limited.

    I live equally on the road working as at home, and I’ve got completely different computers for home and travel, so in this way I’ve always got all my files available since once I start up the computer it automatically starts pulling the local files. If you don’t want a full copy of everything on both machines, I think you can tell it to just create links of the files and the client will download the files from the server as they’re required, but I prefer having a local copy of the files myself.
