Meaning of "barm" in English

"Barm" is a term used to describe the frothy, yeasty foam that forms on top of fermenting beverages like beer. This foam is a byproduct of the fermentation process and consists of yeast cells that are actively converting sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide. Historically, barm was used as a leavening agent for bread before commercial yeasts were available. In addition to its practical uses, barm has also found a place in English colloquial speech as a term for excitement or energetic liveliness. Though not commonly used today, it reflects historical brewing and baking practices.

The concept remains similar to the English definition, describing the foam resulting from the fermentation of alcoholic beverages, which was historically utilized for making bread rise. The usage of "barm" in informal conversation, akin to English, is not a part of standard French vernacular.
