  2. PCShogun yeah that was common practice. what im interested is if they used wild yeast as opposed to reusing the same type. Some Brewers would leave the wort exposed to the night air and let whatever yeast came along ferment it, i know some brewers today who do that and it produces some very interesting flavors
