  Is this tortula yeast something that is intentionally grown on
  sugar cane? Or something that you just end up with sometimes,
  anyway? I assume that if the rabbis are ruling on it, then folks
  must be eating it though. Do you mean this same fungus also grows
  on liquor? Or something else grows on liquor? Is that "on" or "in"
  the liquor? Either way, I though liquor referred to a distilled
  beverage with a high alcohol content. How does this fungus survive
  in that environment? I thought most yeasts died somewhere in teens
  or twenties of percentage of alcohol? Or at least high enough to
  be of a concern when brewing mead.
