just quoting some of the facts published in the article you posted. It's worth a read right through I don't dispute anything they've said, it backs up everything else about how  difficult or impossible it is to make alcohol out of Vegemite  🙂

yes it backs up that ppl have made home brew from it, and that it can be done.

 

And that it might be implausible that communites in NT do, but it's quite probable and has been known to happen according to far north region crime coordinator Geoff Marsh and One former school principal with decades of experience teaching in north Queensland Indigenous communities :

 

In Queensland, where there are 15 dry Indigenous communities, far north region crime coordinator Geoff Marsh said police were aware that homebrewers using the yeast in Vegemite to produce alcohol had “done it for years”.

 

“But there are a lot of products that contain yeast and it’s all a bit of a beat up. We’re not overly concerned about it at all in our position,” he told Guardian Australia.

 

One former school principal with decades of experience teaching in north Queensland Indigenous communities told Guardian Australia he first became aware of Vegemite used in brewing alcohol in the 1990s but this had since been eclipsed by an even unlikelier method – orange juice filtered through nappies.

 

So to call it not true is simply...well...not rue.

Wow.  you can make alcohol using Vegemite which has no usable live yeast (apparently you have to add active yeast) and now you can make alcohol by filtering orange juice through nappies. Do you use cloth or paper nappies, I presume (hope) they are unused nappies. I guess  the next alcohol making method will be making Scotch Whisky by filtering some strange concoction through a Scotchtsmans  sporran
