Notes

Add all salts at beginning of protein rest. Add lactic acid (2mL) at beginning of sacc rest. Boil for 15 minutes without hop additions to sterilize wort. Add lactic acid to wort to reach a pH of 4.7. Chill wort to 110 deg F. and pitch L. plantarum in kettle. Allow 24 - 48 hours for wort to sour, targeting a pH of 3.2. Follow the above boil schedule. Knockout at 65 deg F. and pitch WLP029.

We used a 50% pilsner and 50% white wheat for a balanced profile. We used Hallertau Mittelfruh because it is a low alpha acid noble hop. We used L. Plantarum to kettle sour the wort, this is a new and unique strain of bacteria for the both of us and we were curious about it. We used WLP029 as our yeast because it lends itself to the traditional flavor profile we were after.
