added SouthYeast Labs lacto advice
''... the amount of bacteria in our homebrew units should eliminate the use of a starter. Pitching on the warm side will speed up the souring but RVA 600, a pure culture of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, the first commercially available probiotic propagated for use in brewing, does just fine at room temp. We had originally developed RVA 600 as a mix but fell in love with the pure strain.''<ref>Discussion on Milk The Funk Facebook group with Malachy McKenna</ref>
==[[SouthYeast Labs]] on Lactobacillus 1 and 2==
The L2 strain grows best at 86°F-100°F (30°C-37.7°C), and does not work well over 100°F. Keep IBU's low to none. L1 will likely be discontinued due to high amounts of acetic acid production <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1025481977480016/?comment_id=1027394547288759&offset=0&total_comments=12 Conversation with David Thorton on MTF Facebook Group. 2/27/2015.]</ref>.
