This culture comes in a dry (desiccated) format. Although the [http://www.lallemandbrewing.com/product-details/wildbrew-sour-pitch manufacturer's website] claims this strain is tolerant of 4 IBU, we recommend that brewers treat this strain like any other strain of ''L. plantarum'' and do not expose it to any hops until the desired acidity has been produced (for example, see [[Wort Souring]]).

Reports in MTF on hop tolerance are mixed: Thomas Delaney reported no souring with 4 IBU, while Warren Knowles reported slower souring to 3.2 in 48 hours with ~5 IBU. Adam Stout reported a pH drop from 5.4 to 5.0 over 24 hours with ~3-5 IBU. Knowles, Matt Lange, and Matt Waugh reported light THP for a few days that went away or dimished by serving time but otherwise clean acidity and good results <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/1988756664485871/ Various Milk The Funk members.

It is recommended to seal the original sachet without vacuum sealing, and then double bag it into a bvacuum-sealable package and store in the freezer. This will help prevent contamination (see reference for anecdotes of saving left-over open packages of this product) <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/groups/MilkTheFunk/permalink/3204419266252932/?comment_id=3205432392818286 Gianmaria Ricciardi, Lallemand Brewing sales representative.
