Uses for yeast active at low temps?

[Cakes]

Lager yeasts are bottom-fermenters and are best used at a temperature ranging from 55 degrees F (25 degrees C) down to 32 degrees F (0 degrees C).

So what do you think folks?

I was thinking season extender. Like when you make underground compost piles to warm the soil from below. used for early season seedling beds, maybe in a coldframe... Do you think the yeast would produce heat? even though they would get operating easy due to liking low temps, would that liking for low temps result in no heat produced somehow? The cold season will be over before I can get to the big city and find some lager yeast :(

and this yeast might be good for those who want a low temperature for their reservoirs and still want to have a live popluation too.

and/or maybe it'd make a good winter composter...

I've thought for a while now about using yeast in a tea, as thier are several nutrient lines out that have fermented yeast as an ingredient.
"Liquid Karma" has "fermented yeast extract" as one of its ingredients and that stuff rocks. Only I think I'd have to filter the alcohol, and I don't really want to set up a distillation kit.
That sound like a good idea with the compost though. I've always wondered the major diff. between yeast, and other more traditional compost bacteria activator stuff, other than one is for bread of course.

I use yeast in everything ..... mostly from whiskey or beer

use it outdoors by tossing dried up dough in the yard for slug/snails to eat

it's the last thing they eat too :p

Pouring a beer on the compost pile is a very traditional starter. And yeast has every B vitamin and is also the most highly concentrated food source known at this time.
