Possibly a silly question, but I understand Marmite is made from the dregs left over after fermenting beer. Is it possible to make your own Marmite from the leftovers once you've finished bottling, and has anyone tried this?
Can you make Marmite?

Farmers haul off tons of the stuff from breweries to use as animal feed. So there's no reason to believe the sediment at the bottom of a fermenter would harm you. Just put some on a cracker (or on your finger) and see how it tastes.
