Milk The Funk
Milk the Funk (MTF) began as a Facebook group to get home brewers interested in more advanced and “funky” topics talking on March 6, 2013. Since its inception, Milk the Funk is becoming a communal authority on alternative yeast and bacteria fermentation with an emphasis in alternative brewing techniques.
Similar to Wikipedia’s purpose to benefit readers by acting as an encyclopedia (a comprehensive written compendium that contains information on all branches of knowledge). Milk the Funk Wiki will provide a more focused and controlled narrative on alternative yeast and bacteria fermentation with an emphasis in alternative brewing techniques. We also wish to provide industry knowledge by providing brewery bios of breweries experimenting in the same subject that wish to participate. This Wiki is an early work in progress, but information will be continually added as it is received. YOU are what will make this Wiki successful!
See Who Are We? for more about the Milk The Funk group, and who contributes to this wiki.

Regarding Referencing Style
Our general practice is to provide references for information presented on this wiki. We will cite scientific publications or other reliable published sources when possible. However, due to the nature and current status of this craft, there are various potentially helpful sources of information that are not or cannot be published. Because of this we occasionally reference the personal experiences of our members, citing either blogs and other online articles, or posts to the Milk The Funk Facebook page. We leave it to the reader to decide whether the information in such references is valid. (Note that when a reference links to the MTF Facebook page, wiki readers will not be able to access the source unless they are members of the group on Facebook.)
We generally use Wikipedia's inline citation method of referencing. Specifically, we use the full numbered footnotes style, otherwise known as "Shortened notes". Hyperlinked numbers will appear inline as superscripts following a sentence or paragraph, and will link directly to footnotes at the bottom of the page which contain the full citation. Due to the limited number of wiki editors and the limited time that they volunteer to write for this wiki, references may not be ideally formatted, but they should always give enough information so that readers can track down the references themselves. If a particular sentence does not have an inline superscript number reference, look for it at the end of the paragraph or after successive sentences. Feel free to contact the wiki editors with any questions or concerns regarding any references.
Contributors of the Wiki - Please Read
When creating new pages or adding to existing pages, think about why you are creating it and if the topic/page you are introducing should be included in a more general topic.
Just a tip. We don't want a bunch of little bits and pieces of information scattered far and wide. So, give a little thought and plan your page creation(s) well. Please read the Wiki Page Format and Structure Standards.
Thanks!!!
