Why is it called that? Is it always yeast?  Is it always Saccharomyces?  Other microbes?  Bacteria?Co-pitch vs. serial pitch?With mixed fermentation, is it harder to control outcomes?  Do brewers have to blend?Listen in and learn all about this wonderfully complex style. For original articles or to read the vast archives or to check out All About Beer.  follow us on Twitter @allaboutbeer and Instagram @allaboutbeer.
