The Lactobacillus Blend is comprised of three strains, one strain of Lactobacillus plantarum and two strains of Lactobacillus brevis. One of the strains of L. brevis was isolated from an unintentionally sour hoppy blonde ale from a Mexican craft brewery, and exhibits strong hop tolerance (15-20 IBU).
This is a rod-shaped Lactobacillus bacteria used for souring beers through either traditional or kettle souring techniques. This strain typically produces more lactic acid than strains like WLP677 Lactobacillus delbrueckii, making it an ideal addition to any sour program. Recommended usage is below 107°F (40°C).
This lactic acid bacteria produces moderate levels of acidity and sour flavors found in lambics, Berliner Weisse, sour brown ales and gueuze.
