Description
We're excited to release our first 100% Lactic Acid Bacteria souring blend! We chose this specific blend because of its ability to sour quickly and cleanly at a range of temperatures, and due to its mild hop tolerance. While not “yeast”, this culture blend of two unique strains of Pediococcus pentosaceus is part of our LYP collection because it was sourced entirely from the wild: an anaerobic malt starter, and flowers from Murfreesboro, TN given to us by our good friend Art Whitaker. Perfect for quickly acidifying unhopped wort for kettle/”quick” sours or co-pitching with yeast.
