Well we have discussed pollen supplements and yeast before at length here on
BEE-L, and a search for 'yeast' or 'brewer' with the Substring search box
checked (so you get posts with brewer and brewer and brewer's) might get you
some of what you need.

As I recall, though, we never did get all the technical details.  I don't
know if the yeast must be alive or dead, but I do know the brand that all
the beekeepers use.  Seems to me that Andy figured the yeast they used was
alive and active, but I really don't know.

As for replies, I very glad we have not had a blizzard of wild guesses that
fog the issue.

I'm assuming the reason that no one answered is that nobody here really
knows how the dregs of your brewing would work out.

If you find out, please let us know.
