So I'm continuing to work on a sour recipe. I used just Lacto on the first batch and while it's okay, it's not exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to avoid Brett just so I don't have to have entirely separate gear. That said, I have a couple questions about Ped and Lacto I was hoping y'all could clarify:
1) With the lacto, you can pasturize to kill after you've soured. Can you do the same with Pedio? Again, I don't want to have to deal with entirely separate gear for sour beers like you generally need to do with Brett.
2) Can you use the two together or should they be used on segregated portions of wort separately? My plan is to use the second mash runnings as a separate portion to introduce the strains to. I can either put both into a single 1gallon portion of wort or I can split and run separate 1 gallon batches. Which would be better?
Thanks for the info!
