Yeast continuity is a production identity control

Annotation

Supports the system-level view that consistency begins before distillation and depends on preserving a biological input, not merely repeating a grain recipe. Yeast preservation supports continuity but does not ensure identical product after plant changes; the opening replacement rhetoric is not experimental proof.

Fresh verification

Passage and locator checked during the September 28–29 full textual review. Quotation also checked against a detailed rendered image; editorial capitalization on sheet 95 is explicitly bracketed. All 319 sheets text-read; visual survey of all sheets and 27 detailed page images recorded separately. Verification confirms source fidelity, not independent truth of every assertion. Existing relations and record identity preserved.
