researching a question about open fermentation and ran across this article in BYO:http://byo.com/stories/item/1211-open-fermentation-tips-from-the-pros
brewer from Anchor says he's never homebrewed and it struck me as kind of weird.
I know you can get all your technical knowledge at places like UC Davis or Oregon, and I'm sure they have labs where you can gain practical experience
maybe I've had some very tasty brews from pros who've never homebrewed, I don't know. I do know I've had crappy beers from pros who got their start homebrewing. so homebrewing doesn't guarantee success at pro brewing
bottom line is it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me to drink a commercial beer from a brewer who had never homebrewed, it just seemed odd to me for someone like that to get into the business
maybe this belongs in debate forum.
