Yes, I seem to remember yeast being scattered on toast and floated on a large bowl of ginger beer when it was being made.

Is that the origin of a “toast”:- cheers! - ?

Nowadays, bread is used in commercial beermaking to utilise loaves that would otherwise be thrown away and reduce the amont of virgin grains required. Craft beer video here:

When I was a child in the early 50's, my mother made beer in a huge terracotta bowl, glazed yellow inside.

I was too young to know the recipe but vividly remember her floating a thick slice of her home-made, toasted bread on the surface of the liquid and maybe sprinkling yeast on it.

Did anyone else's Mum or Grandma do this?
