Hey guys, first time poster here. I'm attempting my first Berliner today. I'm souring the wort after mashing and a quick ten minute boil. The only question I've got that I can't seem to find an answer to is how much lactic acid should I pitch to the wort prior to letting it sit for a couple days?
I know I want a PH of 3.5ish before I boil, the guy at my local HBS said to add lactic acid post mash until the PH hits 4.7. Do I just add a small bit at a time, stir lightly, then check PH?
Any help would be appreciated.
