The Brewing Network.com - : The last person replied with one of several different ways to add the yeast/lacto depending on how much sour you want.

While I am absolutely loving the result of my AG, triple decocted, no boil Berliner Weiss, I bet you could also make an amazing Berliner with extract. Pitch lots of lacto and a little bit of yeast and you should be good to go.
