This page is a dedicated archive to threads on the MTF Facebook group that we feel stand out and are worth remembering and reviewing. Keep in mind that only group members can view these threads.
Contents
General Discussions
A general bucket of funky threads.
Funky Science Fridays
James Sites might have started Funky Science Friday, but MTF milked it (thanks, James)!
Microbiology and Science
It's not Funky Science Friday, but it's still pretty geeky.
Unique Processes
These processes may or may not make good beer, but they get an A+ for creativity!
Beer History and Culture
Research and thoughts on how beer was made back in the day, as well as cultural alcoholic mixed fermentation.
Brewing Philosophy Discussions
Informed, controversial, opinionated, discussions on sour and funky brewing processes and industry.
MTF Community
Posts that make us proud to be a part of the MTF community. See also MTF Community Projects.
