Homofermentative Lactic Acid Pathways at Warm Temps
Lactic acid bacteria produce mild lactic acid at warm temperatures (26-28°C) through homofermentative biochemical pathways.
Heterofermentative Acetic Tang in Cold Retardation
Dropping fermentation temperatures to 12-14°C stimulates heterofermentative production of pungent acetic acid, increasing sourness.
Stiff vs Liquid Levain Hydration Effects
Maintaining a 100% hydration feeding regimen moderates acidity, whereas stiff 60% levains favor complex fruit aromatic profiles.
