Methods of Creating and Maintaining a Wild House Culture

This presentation aims to help homebrewers create unique, complex and enjoyable beers using a house culture—a cocktail of non-traditional yeasts and bacteria from any number of sources. Several methods of creating and maintaining house cultures will be discussed and compared, each of which has been developed to make brewing with bugs more consistent, straightforward and affordable. No microscope or biology degree required—just an open mind, a little patience and a thirst for the funk!
