Sources for Lactic Acid Bacteria, especially ''[[Lactobacillus]]'', are available in various forms such as unpasteurized products and probiotics. This page contains a list of sources that Milk The Funk members have experimented with, and their results. Note that the production of products such as probiotics may not be as sanitary as brewing industry yeast manufacturers, so without isolating these bacteria on agar plates, they cannot be considered pure cultures. Methods contained on this page use only materials that a typical homebrewer would have on hand and are geared towards brewers without agar plating capabilities. For information on isolating pure cultures of ''Lactobacillus'' with selective media on agar plates, see the [[Lactobacillus#Selecting_for_on_Agar|''Lactobacillus'']] and [[Wild_Yeast_Isolation|wild yeast isolation]] pages. For more information on using ''Lactobacillus'' to sour wort or kettle sour, see [[Wort Souring]]. For more information on mixed fermentation, see [[Mixed fermentation]].
