Acid Tripp

For the first time, Tripping Animals Brewing in Doral, FL is giving you access to one of their hottest house strains! We’re so excited to partner with our passionate and creative friends at Tripping Animals to bring you WLP6420 Acid Tripp, the ultimate blend of organisms, a mixed culture of yeast and bacteria, perfect for your next kettle sour.

This proprietary house blend is used in all of Tripping Animals’ renowned sour ales, and is now available to you!

This microbial concoction of yeast and bacteria is unlike any other and offers an extraordinarily complex flavor profile resulting in a nice acidity to the beer with moderate tropical and pomme fruit aromas. This complexity allows for a range of flavor profiles that can be achieved depending on how it is blended with other yeasts or added to different beer styles. Optimum fermentation temperature range is between 40-43℃/105-110℉ and typically sours the wort within 12-24 hours. 

 

• Complex flavor profile resulting in moderate tropical (pineapple) and pomme (apple) fruit aromas.

 

• An extremely quick pH drop! Souring is typically achieved in less than 24 hours, dropping the wort from a pH of ~5 to ~3.5.

 

• It is recommended to add hops after the lactic acid fermentation so the organisms are not inhibited.
