Conclusion

Like most aspects of brewing sour beer, there is no single preeminent method for starting a spontaneous fermentation. What works for one location or brewer may not work for all. It is important to focus on the general principles, i.e., ensuring a quick start to fermentation while avoiding too much early activity from Lactobacillus. Once fermentation starts, you should heed the advice found in other sections of this book on minimizing oxygen exposure, monitoring the progress of the microbes, and always being aware of the risks outlined here and in Chapter 2. This style of fermentation demands caution, patience, blending ability, and the willingness to dump beer, but with both skill and luck you can fashion a beer that is more exciting and rewarding than anything fermented with cultured microbes.
