You're exposing the culture to air for much longer than you're wort/beer is during brewing. I understand why people want to try it. Its just not a sustainable technique long term. My source my personal expertise as a biologist that has cultured a great many microbes over my career. | |

Is the process of drying more dangerous for the yeast than the process of brewing beer? I understand this is widely shared opinion, but not necesarily true, as there are people successfully drying their yeast. | |
