Once mash is complete the wort will be boiled for 10 mins to sterilise, at this point two starters will be taken one for L.Plantarum and one for Verdant IPA yeast.
5 caps will be added to the L.P starter at 38ºC. When the temperature cools down to 38ºC, the L.Plantarum starter will be added to the wort.
The lid will be replaced and weighted to ensure limited exposure to oxygen. pH will be tested over a 16 hour period looking for a final pH of 3.5.
After pH reaches the desired value the wort will immediately be boiled for 90 mins. It will then be cooled over night and then added to the fermenter.
