Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 52(3), 602-608.</ref>. More recent data suggests that POF+ strains of ''Saccharomyces'' are not necessary for ''Brettanomyces'' to create phenols because ''Brettanomyces'' can create the precursor 4-vinyl phenols on its own as long as ferulic acid and other grain derived precursors are available <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1585065488188326/?comment_id=1585068344854707&reply_comment_id=1585072311520977&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R3%22%7D Conversation with Richard Preiss on MTF. 02/16/2017.]</ref>.

Perform a [http://braukaiser.com/blog/blog/2010/06/04/how-much-effect-does-a-ferulic-acid-rest-have/ ferulic acid rest], and use around 70% barley malt and 30% wheat malt for the highest ferulic acid extraction (see [[Brettanomyces#Phenol_Production|''Brettanomyces'' phenol production]] for more information).
