added link to MTF thread on dissolving probiotics vs opening them
Devin Bell has experienced getting good sourness by co-pitching probiotics with ''L. plantarum'' with yeast, or even after primary fermentation (also known as the "Reverse MTF Sour"). In the case of pitching ''L. plantarum'' after fermetnation, the beer turned out like a sour saison, where as co-pitched makes for a better Berliner Weisse or Gose style beer. This has also improved head retention in his beers. See [https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1217518078276404/ this thread for details].
