This culture comes in a dry (desiccated) format. Although the [http://www.lallemandbrewing.com/product-details/wildbrew-sour-pitch manufacturer's website] claims this strain is tolerant of 8 IBU, we recommend that brewers treat this strain like any other strain of ''L. plantarum'' and do not expose it to any hops until the desired acidity has been produced (for example, see [[Wort Souring]]). Recommended temperature: 86-104°F.

| [[Mainiacal Yeast]] || MYLP1 || L. plantarum || Facultatively heterofermentative || || Isolated from flowers at King Richards Faire in Massachusetts. It produces a clean lactic sour and prefers it a little cooler however does sour more quickly at its higher temps. Recommended fermentation temperature is 70-90°F <ref name="Amaral_Mainiacal">Private correspondence with Justin Amaral by Dan Pixley. 01/24/2018.]</ref>. '''Commercial pitches only'''.
|-
| [[Mainiacal Yeast]] || MYLP2 || L. plantarum || Facultatively heterofermentative || || Isolated from grains going through the steeping process at Blue ox Malthouse. It produces a clean lactic sour and is a viable option for kettle souring, co-pitching, or post fermentation. Recommended fermentation temperature is 70-105°F <ref name="Amaral_Mainiacal" />. '''Commercial pitches only'''.
|-
| [[Mainiacal Yeast]] || MYLD1 || L. delbruekii || Homofermentative || || Isolated from a spontaneous beer, this strain likes it warm but not to hot. It does not sour as quickly and will require some longer aging times to reach terminal pH. It produces a clean acidity with a hint of farmhouse like straw. Recommended fermentation temperature is 65-90°F <ref name="Amaral_Mainiacal" />. '''Commercial pitches only'''.
|-
| [[Mainiacal Yeast]] || MYLB2 || L. brevis || Heterofermentative || || Produces a clean lactic acidity, but generally doesn't produce as much lactic acid as some other variants. It's best used co-pitched with other microbes and allowed to age. Expect this strain to be a bit lighter on the souring side leaving a tart refreshing beer. Recommended fermentation temperature is 60-85°F <ref name="Amaral_Mainiacal" />. '''Commercial pitches only'''.
