I have a sour raspberry saison that i inoculated with a starter made from a bunch of Dregs of wild sours. Within about 2 months it went from 3.9ph (this was post primary, after the addition of raspberry. they were quite tart) to 2.8ph. Samples are so sour that it's nearly undrinkable, not entirely, but close.
It tastes like it's on the right track. Bright lemony acidity, fresh raspberry flavor that's remarkably close to the frozen raspberry flavor, however the raspberry note is fairly flat and one note. Very little brett character so far. very very dry finish.
Is there any way that i can bump up the PH while also adding some deeper raspberry and brett notes? I thought about adding a can of raspberry puree and/or brewing a couple gallons of wort and topping off the fermenter. (7 gal fermonster with about a 1.5gal of space)
I planed on letting this go for a long time, i didn't expect it to get so sour so fast.
