Case study: Learn how this brewer was able to launch a new product by reaching the required RDF level.
Suitable acidifying cultures are hard to find
Producing great-tasting sour beers can be difficult due to limited availability of suitable acidifying cultures.
Many brewers have tried various cultures originating from or developed for dairy products. Unfortunately, these often bring a certain undesired “dairy aroma” to the final beer.
SmartBev™ Harvest LB-1 is the right culture for the job
SmartBev™ Harvest LB-1 is a freeze-dried lactic acid bacteria that is developed specifically for use in the brewery.
SmartBev™ Harvest LB-1 ensures rapid acidification in less than 18 hours. There is no need to pre-acidify to a pH-level of 3.5-3.6.
