3) Hoped wort can be used as well, although my success at getting yeast + lacto with hopped wort is poor...I usually only get yeast, even with a meagre 3-5 IBU.
4) Raccoons, possums, rats, squirrels, deer, and pretty much every other fur-bearing animal (and some of the feather-bearing kinds as well) love unfermented wort, so try to place your jar somewhere they cannot get at it - while still maintaining airflow. We've got wild turkeys in the back, and those f***ers can fly (editor's note: language, Bryan!), so its a real challenge to keep them out."<ref>[https://www.facebook.com/group
