In most of Europe it was readily accepted, but it became conventional wisdom in the UK that this foreign nonsense ruined your beer. Most brewers here accepted the advice of George Harris Morris of Worthies and John Simpson Ford of Younger's who could not get British beers made with single strains to either condition properly or age properly. Part of that was lacking Brett for keeping beer, just at the time it was going out of fashion, but it also applied to running beer.<br /><br />So although there were the odd exceptions like Combe's and Chester's who were loyal disciples of Hansen, in general British brewers stuck with their traditional multi-strains for most of the 20th century. A lot dropped them when they moved to cylindroconicals or during the corporate chaos of the 1990s, but those who still open-ferment generally still have multistrains. Lees are up to nearly 5000 generations.qqnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5445569787371915337.post-73577526780136882672018-09-14T05:13:03.740-07:002018-09-14T05:13:03.740-07:00Dave,
