 This is dead yeast and sediment from the brewing mixture. It looks awful but
 is not harrmful,. Sime brewers (not many) consider the "dregs the best part
 of the bottle and selfishly reserve it for themselves. :-)

Actually, from my experience, not all of that yeast is dead.  Y;es, the brew
has stopped bubbling, but there are many times when I have taken some brew
out of the carboy for only one bottle as a gift, and seen the carboy start
bubbling again because of the introduced oxygen.  So I see no problem about
using it to bake with.  Another option might be to get some of the foam that
appears on the top of beer as it is in the process of brewing, as this is
full of very active and healthy yeast.  It is called the Barm (I think.  My
husband is the brewer.  I am more of a Mazer, maker of meads).
