I have a couple of recipes for sour beers planned for the next few weeks that both require the use of a lactobacillus bacteria, so I will be using Whitelabs' WLP677 strain.
Now, they aren't particularly cheap and quite often have to be ordered in specifically so I'm not keen on wasting them. Could I make up a weak DME starter with a single vial, allow it to grow for 3-4 days, pitch half of it into the first brew and then refrigerate the remainder to make the second beer a week or so later?
