| [https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/4311291362232378/ Dr. Bryan Heit demonstrates that Lallemand Philly Sour can probably be re-pitched indefinitely if the correct cell count is re-pitched (~0.5-1 million/ml) and it is re-pitched relatively quickly. Oxygenate the wort well, and make the wort very fermentable for better results.] See also [http://suigenerisbrewing.com/index.php/2021/02/12/diving-deep-in-to-philly-sour/ Dr. Heit's blog post]. || Bryan Heit || 02/12/2021
