Are you wanting to make alcohol or use it as a nutritional supplement?

brewer's yeast (the nutritional supplement) *
Shopping hints: *Don't confuse this with baker's yeast, which is used to make yeast breads. Uncooked baker's yeast can rob your body of valuable B vitamins. *Brewer's yeast comes powdered (the most potent form), in flakes (best for health shakes), and in tablets.

Substitutes: nutritional yeast (better, nuttier flavor, lighter color)



beer yeast = brewer's yeast**
Notes:* This is used to produce alcohol and bubbles in beer.* There are several varieties, each matched to specific varieties of beer.** It's available either as a liquid or powder at beer-making supply stores.* Don't confuse this with the brewer's yeast that's used as a nutritional supplement.* That type of yeast is deactivated, so it won't produce any alcohol or bubbles.**

Thanks cchiu for the clarification!
I have a recipe that calls for the nutritional supplement - Brewers Yeast, might there be a substitute available?

As listed above, you can use "nutritional yeast (better, nuttier flavor, lighter color)"which is found at health food stores.

It really depends on your recipe. You may be able to substitute a cheese for it. Look here to find all the cheese substitutes for nutritional yeast.
