Description
This lactic acid bacteria produces moderate levels of acidity and sour flavors. Souring will need maturation times around 3+ months- Low sugar requirements will be necessary for these organisms to produce acidity- Organisms will have a difficult time growing in environments below a pH of 3.5. General brewing pitch rates apply for primary fermentation- Fermentation timeline will be slower – closer to 15-21 days depending on the strain

Brewing Properties of Lactobacillus delbrueckii
The functional properties of brewing yeasts have a direct impact on the performance, quality and economics of the resulting beer.
| Alcohol Tolerance The alcohol tolerance determines the ABV at which yeast cells go dormant and stop fermenting. |
10% |
|---|---|
| Attenuation Attenuation refers to the percentage of sugars converted to alcohol and carbon dioxide, as measured by specific gravity. |
75-82% |
| Flocculation Flocculation refers to the tendency of yeast to form clumps called "flocs" that drop in order to make the beer clear. |
Low |
| Optimal Temperature The optimal temperature is the range in which the yeast performs best without putting off any off-flavors. Pitching the yeast into wort usually happens at the low end of the temperature range. |
70-95° F (21-35° C) |
