There has to be something in the brewers yeast to do it, the same mix without it won't go the same way in the same conditions. It was always more effective in that state too

Inert yeast is used in bacteria cultures to feed bacteria. I guess it makes things happen in the bait too.

I have a few baits with Brocacell in there whereby little bubbles form around the outer of the boilie. If you watch the bait closely, you can see little bubbles coming up to the surface. They contain Brocacell.

Little critters eat Brocacel and co2 is formed I think.

Ah okay, interesting! Thanks!

Brocacel is added to feed to promote growth of beneficial gut bacteria. I would think it also promote growth of similar bacteria in the bait.

These bubbles can be a pain and add unwanted bouyancy. Therefore worth keeping a check on any lightweight ingredients. Could result in baits floating away after a few days submerged if not got right.

Interesting thought, I never thought of a bacterial element producing alcohol
Either way I wouldn't call these products inert

Inert is probably the wrong word. Inactive may be better.
English is not my native language.

inactive could mean the yeast is stabilised because it's dried, but reactivated in the presence of sugar and water, for example i know dynamite baits csl liquid is stabilised, but if you add sugar to it, it reactivates it. Also it is worth thinking about the fact that brucocel and brewers yeast are designed to be activated by water, where as bakers yeast works in a firmer dough, i wonder if a combination of the three yeasts, would be a good bet.

I believe Brocacel etc are dead yeast that can't be resurrected but that it is prime food for bacteria.

You will know more about it than I, but brewers and brocacel definitely cause/accelerate/are a catalyst for activity in the finished bait. They certainly add more than what you see on a nutrition breakdown list
