==Kettle Sour==
We have two great pages that help you brew your first kettle sour. See the [[Sour Worting]] page, and the [[Lactobacillus#Culture_Charts|Lacto Culture Charts]]!
Q: My Lacto only pitch has a krausen!
A: Yeast contamination is the cause of a krausen. Even heterofermentative bacteria do not produce more than a little bit of CO2 blow off. The yeast contamination could have come from not enough cleaning/sanitation. There have also been numerous reports of yeast contamination problems from popular yeast companies. We recommend buying Lacto cultures from one of the smaller yeast labs. See [[Lactobacillus#100.25_Lactobacillus_Fermentation this page]] for details.
