No it’s ferment. It can also be used to describe something that’s intensely active or roiling. Sort of like how juice or malt starts to bubble and foam as yeast

- arcticbull 5y agoHeh, there's some overlap between the terms but foment is likely the right one. For others curious: > When change is a brewin', remember: to ferment is to cause a chemical change to food or drink, like turning grapes into wine, but to foment is to stir up trouble, like turning a group of people into an angry mob.
