Glowing green yeast?

[Accidic]

On the one hand, sanity is yelling at me that this is a terrible idea. On the other hand the younger side of me is yelling form the depths... "GLOWING GREEN BEER!!!"

(And yes, I realize it would likely dissipate quickly... Still, the other side of me is still screaming from the inside... GLOWING GREEN BEER GDI!!!)

Haha awesome.

I doubt the green colour would stick around, but surely it's worth a 1 gallon batch to find out? Even glowing green wort would be pretty cool. Do something real light like a pilsner for maximum effect.

Will leave it to the chemist folk to comment on whether it's a good/safe idea etc.

Wish I had a $120 to blow on this...

This would be awesome. It would be cool to time a brew for a Halloween party, and set up your place with black lights while everyone is drinking a fluorescent beer! A hazy NEIPA would be perfect.

Wouldn't the UV instantly skunk the beer?
