'Draught' is not a beer style - it's a lifestyle
Hi all,
I have noticed on a couple of the US forums that it seems to be fairly common practise for a home brewer to get 'a pint of active yeast' from a local brewpub. Sometimes they do it for that particular style, or alternatively they have a dud fermentation and need to kickstart it in a hurry.
Has anyone had any experience here? Are brewpubs here friendly enough towards the homebrewer to go to that extent?!
I realise there are a lot less brewpubs / micros here, but somehow I couldn't see myself walking away from one with a pint of yeast, however charming I was...
