WLP661 Pediococcus damnosus - PurePitch Next Generation

Perfect for use in any sour program, this is a cocci bacteria known for its souring capabilities through the production of lactic acid. It is a high diacetyl producer and slow growing, so it’s suggested to use in a mixed culture.

We highly recommend a Dry Ice Pack or two for your yeasts voyage OR for a short stay in our pick up lockers in the warmer months of the year.
Please choose Australia Post Express if you want to reduce the the risk of transit time delay and its affect on your yeast.

These bacteria strains are now being propagated in an optimized, strain-specific growth media. This proprietary media, which is lighter in color, allows for better growth and viability of our pure cultures resulting in higher cell concentrations. Due to the improved cell concentration, we suggest utilizing the below pitch rate:

Pediococcus: contains >100 million cells/mL
Recommended Pitch Rate:
          Secondary: 1 Liter per 10hL

*White Labs recommends pitching based on intended dosage rates as opposed to actual cell concentrations since these can vary slightly.
