yeasting
Actively producing foam
Yeasting describes the process of fermentation or rising caused by yeast—bread dough yeasting in a warm kitchen, beer yeasting in vats.
Figuratively, it suggests something building or fermenting beneath the surface: Revolution was yeasting in the capital.
The word captures both the biological action and the sense of gradual, bubbling expansion.
