THats true and could be a reason probably why they just say pitch dry, to make it easy and appealing for a beginner to simplify things. Granted it does work. Instructions on liquid vials also tell you how to pitch (kind of) but they dont tell you of the importance of aerating your wort first and things like that. Certain things and techniques you just have to learn on your own by researchig/reading.

What a hobby ! I am so hooked on it.
Unionrdr, have you ever distilled your own spirit for the airlock?

To answer your question,no. That's ilegal in all 50 states. I just use cheap grocery store vodka in my airlocks. I got the idea from Gary,a member here,when he still did Home Brewer TV. Anything that gets in it dies of alcohol poisoning. So if it sucks back,no worries.
