No, you make a large jar of liquid yeast and when you get low you and more ingredients and wait for the fungus to multiply. It has to be stored in the fridge.

Has anyone ever tried to make their own yeast before? I have an old cook book with a yeast recipe and I was wondering if anyone has ever done it before.

If you don't have a machine you can just throw an oxygen absorber into each jar before closing. It will vacuum seal the jar for you. You have to work fast though, so you should have all your jars ready before you open the OA's, otherwise they won't work.

You should always have peroxide. It truly has no medicinal purposes, but it will stop bleeding almost instantly. You should also keep small tampons for bloody noses.
