Lactobacillus brevis - Strain TYB282

About

TYB282 is a single strain of Lactobacillus brevis isolated out of an unintentionally soured golden ale produced by a Mexican craft brewery. This strain produces a nice, clean lactic acidity (down to ~pH 3.16-3.18) in unhopped wort within 36 hours at a temperature of ~72-77 °F. The higher the temperature up to 90 °F, the faster the acid production. This is a great strain for kettle souring, but really shines in souring fermented beer as a result of its hop tolerance (15-20 IBU).

Best For
