A 50/50 or 60/40 wheat/barley malt (either two row or pilsner is good) mix is a good starting point for sour beers. It's the make up of most lambic beers. If you wanted to make something darker (in a Flanders red or oud bruin style) then look at starting with 60-70% two row or pilsner with a 10% flaked corn or sugar addition and the rest a mix of caravienne and caramunich. Obviously you are not bound by the basics. Modify as desired.
