Although the mechanisms are not fully understood, dry hopping inhibits ''Lactobacillus''. This is probably due to non-isomerized alpha acids, other acids, or the small amount of isomerization of alpha acids that happens in beer at room temperature <ref>[http://scottjanish.com/zero-hot-side-hopped-neipa-hplc-testing-sensory-bitterness/ Janish, Scott.
