Is pedio limited by hops the same way lacto is? I'm asking because I'd like to do a split batch of a Doppelbock recipe, lager half as usual, and do a mixed fermentation with the other half, but I won't add any LAB if there's no point. I'd like to get some sourness out of it, but could always blend in a portion of sour wort if I needed to.
My last batch was sort of a Belgian Dubbel base, hopped to about 15 IBU, and half was fermented with the Saison Blend from The Yeast Bay, and the other half with Melange, a mix of sacch, brett, and LAB. The saison portion is absolutely fabulous, but I haven't tasted the Melange yet, it's still sitting in primary.
