==History==
Previously there have been claims of 100% ''Lactobacillus'' fermented berliner weisse beers. Examples include [http://www.themadfermentationist.com/2012/06/100-lactobacillus-berliner-weisse.html Michael Tonsmeire's 100% ''Lactobacillus'' fermented berliner wiesse using WLP677]. Interestingly, the fermentation looked like a yeast fermentation and the beer was described by Tonsmeire as being lacking in acidity <ref>[http://www.themadfermentationist.com/2013/05/100-lactobacillus-berliner-weisse.html 100% Lactobacillus Berliner Weisse Tasting. The Mad Fermentationist. 05/27/2013. Retrieved 02/10/2016.]</ref>. Commercial examples of beers claiming to be 100% fermented by ''Lactobacillus'' once included The Bruery's Hottenroth, however it has been confirmed that Hottenroth also has ''Brettanomyces'' in it <ref>American Sour Beer: Innovative Techniques for Mixed Fermentations. Michael Tonsmeire. 2014.</ref><ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1160607363967476/?comment_id=1160651337296412&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D Conversation on MTF regarding Hottenroth. 10/08/2015.]</ref>. There have been reports of finding yeast cells in WLP677 vials on MTF <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1212529818775230/?comment_id=1212567825438096&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R6%22%7D Conversation about WLP677 on MTF. 01/12/2016.]</ref>. More recently an employee of White Labs explained on MTF that once the WLP677 product is packaged using the PurePitch® technology, yeast contamination in this product should no longer be an issue for the company <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1212529818775230/?comment_id=1212682008760011&reply_comment_id=1212690905425788&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R9%22%7D Conversation about WLP677 on MTF. 01/12/2016.]</ref>.
