Hello Matt,

I'm short on time but if you want to actually tell if your bacteria are of =
a certain species, this takes much more detailed testing methods, as outlin=
ed by Mark in the other current discussion. You can however evaluate whethe=
r you 'likely' have bacteria which are of benefit by observing a balance of=
 microbial types in your brew and by using your nose to sniff for anaerobic=
 bacteria (foul smells).

Here are some resources which may help; http://www.microbeorganics.com/#Mic=

Salutations,
