When using the WLP6420 Acid Tripp, it's important to monitor the pH levels of the beer to ensure the desired level of acidity is achieved. Additionally, it's recommended to use a starter culture to ensure a healthy fermentation. The optimum acidification and fermentation temperature range is between 40-43℃/105-110℉ and typically sours the wort within ~24 hours. It is recommended to add hops after the lactic acid fermentation so the organisms are not inhibited.
We are excited to see brewers use WLP6420 Acid Tripp to create their own unique sour beers, and to see how they blend it with other yeasts to achieve different flavor profiles. It will be interesting to see what creations of different beer styles and flavor combinations brewers will think of using this strain.
