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?

I think its like peppers, they're all the same specie but we've bred strains for different purposes, so you've got the whole range from bell peppers, to habaneroa, to shishitos.

It might work, I know there's types of beer based on wild yeasts, but it probably takes special care and is going to take more effort to get the flavor your want from it.

I just learned about this whole God forsaken idea from this post, and it's disgusting. However, one thing I know for certain is that the type of people who would buy vaginal yeast brewed beer(typing that almost made me gag) ain't buying it for how it tastes.

This is a completely reasonable hypothesis.

Also, sorry I spoiled the illusion that "Gamer Girl Bathwater" was the most egregious thing the parasocial relationship industry has come up with.
