Can’t and won’t answer for him, but I’ll say this bro:
1. Testing by fellow members is awesome, but a UGL is only as good as their last batch of raws. At this point, I haven’t seen new tests from members and I’m sure the batches tested are long gone.
2. A UGL that tests their raws is a safe(r) UGL because they won’t brew over or under, because they know what they’re dealing with. When a UGL tests their raws, they know they aren’t being ripped off with fake or under dosed crap, which means we aren’t being sold fake or under dosed crap. There’s a horror story of a dude who bought “Var” for his woman. It was frickin Winnie and she lost all of her hair because of it. If a UGL is buying a kilo at a time and marks their batch, we know for the life of that batch that another woman isn’t getting Winnie instead of Var or that I’m getting Primo and not Mast.
3. Sources are here for free. It’s not asking too much for them to pay it forward to AL.
4. By his own words, he said he would be testing and said he would make monthly donations. Nothing more needs to be said about it.
