Got a sour in the tank currently. It is my first time using the co-pitch method and it's going well! Just did a pH check this weekend and it's sitting at 3.3.
Usually, I use US-05 for fermenting kettle sours as I know it performs pretty well in the acidic environment of a sour. However, this time around, i wanted something less attenuative so I used OYL 011 British Ale V, which is Omega's version of WY1318.
So, after 1 week of fermenting, gravity is still sitting at 1.041 (OG of 1.080). I'm going to give it a few days and if I have to, I'll pitch some US05 to finish it out. Hopefully the US05 will take care of it.
My question: Anyone else used either OYL 011 or WY1318 in an acidic environment? Did it lag/stall on you as well?
