Notes
Make Lacto Starter for 2-4 days before pitching (could be up to a week) - do NOT add O2 but do put on a stir plate - keep starter at about up to 100 degreees (could only get it up to 90-92)
Cool Wort to ~70 degrees - Do NOT add Oxygen to fermenter before pithcing lacto starter
Pitch lacto at 70 degrees and increase to 75 degrees over 2-4 days until desired level of sourness reached (pitched lacto for 3 days until added kolsch starter)
After initial lacto period add main sacc starter after have let fermenter cool to room temp 65-68 degrees
Then let sit for 2-4 weeks or longer - taste to judge sourness level before crashing and bottlingThis Recipe Has Not Been Rated
