Having worked down-wind of a billy goat in a previous job, I wouldn't want any of that stink in my beer, or anything else for that matter. They're pretty disgusting in their habits when wanting to appear attractive to the lady goats. Unlike yeast, they're quite happy to lather themselves in piss and other fluids. <br /><br />I could live with a bit of goats cheese though. Actually, just remembered my wife had a pair of goats before we met. She's often said she'd like another (but not a male!).Barry Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367655129107699025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5993007378997589817.post-83835150855126157762010-06-05T12:58:28.789+01:002010-06-05T12:58:28.789+01:00According to wikipedia:
