CONT

In brewing, bacterial spoilage can occur at almost any stage in the process. If the temperature of the mash tun wort is allowed for any reason to fall below 50 [degrees Celsius], the thermophilic lactic acid bacteria(...) can cause rapid spoilage. If hopped wort is held for any length of time before pitching, gram-negative bacteria such as coliform organisms, acetic acid bacteria and Obesumbacterium proteus can develop with the production of unpleasant flavours.
