* For GoodBelly shots, only 1-2 shots (or 8 oz from a 32 oz carton) for 5 gallons of wort are needed (~20 billion cells for 5 gallons). If using ''fresh '' GoodBelly that has been stored cold, don't bother making a starter (a starter will tell you if the bacteria is good, but it will also increase the possibility of contamination). Mango is the preferred flavor because it imparts little flavor to the beer, but others can be used as well <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1390440970984113/ Conversation on MTF about how many GoodBelly shots to use for kettle souring. 08/29/2016.]</ref>.* Starters can be avoided for ''fresh'' tablet probiotics toothat have been stored cold, although measuring the pH of a starter will verify that the probiotic pills are still good to use. For Swansons L. plantarum tablets (5 billion cells per tablet), 7-10 tablets for 5 gallons of wort and held at 80-100°F for 1-2 days reportedly works well (temperature control and very warm temperatures are not necessary for ''L. plantarum'' in general) <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1217518078276404/?comment_id=1217577824937096&reply_comment_id=1440146586013551&comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R0%22%7D MTF thread on how many Swansons tablets can be pitched directly without a starter. 01/20/2016.]</ref>.* Both liquid and pill format probiotics are extremely shelf unstable. They should be stored cold. Liquid probiotics may not be viable after two weeks of cold storage (see expiration date on the package). If liquid or pill format probiotics are stored at room temperature or warmer for any length of time, they may not be viable and a starter is recommended to see if they will acidify wort <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/1448945931800283/?comment_tracking=%7B%22tn%22%3A%22R%22%7D Conversation with Devin Bell about storage and viability of probiotics. 10/25/2016.]</ref>.
