I think that what consenting yeast cultures and sugars do in the taproom is nobody else's business, and as long as it's not harming children fermentations of all kinds should be readily available to those who want them.

I think it should be a matter of self-definition. This should be up to every yeast colony to define itself as top-fermenting, middle-fermenting, bottom-fermenting, non-fermenting, any other term that suits it best, or to reject the use of labels altogether if it wishes so.
Fermentations of all kinds are available to those who want them. That's why we have both ale and lager, in addition to whatever other types of beers may or may not exist. Fact is the beer freedom movement is long over.
Yeast colonies aren't sentient. And even if they were, top/bottom fermenting is well defined. I don't get to just decide I'm African American when I'm clearly not, so yeast colonies shouldn't get to decide they are top fermenting when they are clearly not.
The following message is deliberately silly. It isn't meant to be aggressive, offensive or even serious in any way or shape.
Why do people always underestimate fungi ? Well, I don't want to hear you complain the day a mutated slime mold destroys the human civilization in a matter of months and takes over the world as a single, self-sufficient, hyperintelligent, planet-sized superorganism. Though I guess you'll be too busy anyway, screaming in terror and pain as the deadly spores invade your organism and lead you to an unspeakable doom.
You don't realise that there's a difference between fermentational orientation and fermentational behavior. They do not always correlate. What if the yeast is closeted ?

Well, on a slightly more topic-related note...
I usually don't call or communicate with my direct family unless absolutely necessary. This being during a tropical storm, I made an exception because, jerks though they may be, they're still my family.
What I got were some...pretty precision-targeted types of insult from my brother.
I'm thinking he's starting to get privy to my situation. :smallsigh:
But oh well, that's what private property and guard dogs are for.
>.o Just about killing myself with all the stress of wanting to out myself to my mom but being to terrified to actually do it. No clue how to explain that my girlfriend is a transsexual without it starting all kinds of drama and blahness. I'm just so frustrated I could cry sometimes. T_T [/vent]
Apparently the main lecturer of gender studies at my uni said that "men are like women without emotions".
Yeah...
Hope yours is better :smalltongue:
I do not understand your evident disapproval of that statement, female.
I don't have feelings? ;~; That makes me feel really sad.
*Hugs Jacklu* I can't say that I know your mother, but I know mothers in general, and they are usually very understanding of their children. That said, Serp is possibly right, and it might be easier to first tell her that you are in a relationship, and then later you can tell her the rest.
Advice interception :3
...Gah. Lioness. I meant Lioness. ;~; Baaaww! I'm just a heartless man! *Curls up and eats an entire tub of ice cream*
Its ok Introbulus. *hands kleenex* Let those emotions out.
As a man, I accept any statement that may lead to copulation.
Fire in a die.
:O Oh hey! You're still using that Glaceon avatar I made you! :smallbiggrin: Everything is right with the world!
Also, not sure if this one was the one that was shared earlier, but I found this humorous.
