- This strain can blend with a wide temperature range.
- The L. plantarum, isolated in collaboration with Marz Community Brewing, sours efficiently at its higher end.
- Do not sour above 95°F (35°C) to prevent stalling.
- Max souring develops within 24 to 72 hrs.
- Extremely hop sensitive, however, even 2 IBUs can prevent souring.
