Used for Berliner Weisse
Mashed at 149F and added 1 oz of table sugar at boil and pH dropped to 3.3 after two days. Attenuation was 65%. So the yeast works as advertised. Great way to sour without having to deal with actual lacto bacteria. Only con was personal taste preference as this created a strong green apple flavor.
