Hello,
I'm trying to figure out the logistics of doing my first sour. I do not want to introduce any cold-side bacteria yet as I don't have a second set of ferm equipment laying around that I can dedicate to sours. So with that, I plan on doing a sour wort, grow on lacto for a few days, then boil and ferment normally. My issue is keeping the wort at 100F for 4 days. I have a ferm chamber, and I'm going to do a test to see if get my heating pads in there to keep a liquid at that temp
My issue: What are the recommended procedures for cleaning a ferm chamber after doing a sour?
Bonus questions: If you have another (aka - easier) suggestion for keeping my lacto-wort at 100F, I'm all ears.
Thanks in advance.
