Here’s a pure Lactobacillus plantarum culture from Chr. Hansen just for sour beers

June 17, 2019Pretty Much a Press Release

Chr. Hansen has developed a new freeze dried, direct inoculation culture of Lactobacillus plantarum. Chr. Hansen’s Harvest LB-1 is the first pure Lactobacillus plantarum culture selected specifically for sour beer production.  

Now available via Gusmer, Harvest LB-1 is a dairy free culture, with high cell viability, that produces clean and crisp flavors and aromas that are great for sour beer. Available in a 10 HL dose, Harvest LB-1 can be stored in a freezer for up to 24 months, and provides fast and consistent fermentations, with full quality compliance and traceability.

Pack Size: Recommended one pouch in 10 hl (264 US Gallons)
