,updated Lacto temperatures
Q: I am making a kettle sour beer. What temperature do I hold at for my bacteria?
A: It depends on your species of ''Lactobacillus''. For example, ''L. plantarum'' (both the Omega Labs OYL-605 Lacto blend and plantarum probiotics) tends to prefer 70-95°F, and temperatures of 110°F+ can kill it. Check out our recommendations on the [[Lactobacillus#Culture_Charts|Lacto Culture Chart]]. The , [[Alternative Bacteria Sources]], and the [[Sour Worting]] page may also be helpfulpages.
