I just brewed for the second time this afternoon (first batch is still bottle conditioning so i don't know how that turned out ). I used a 2.5 gallon BW kit that called for a 15 minute boil followed by addition of lacto. Let sit for a week, then pitch the yeast and sit for another week. That sounds like a long souring time based on what i've read, but i figured i'll follow what came in the kit. My problem is that after I added the lacto, i did a search on the strain (delbrueckii) and found out that the lowest ph i can hope for is about 4.4 vs around 3.3 for brevis. I like really sour beer so I'm disappointed that i'm not going to get the pucker factor i like. I know It's probably too late, but is there anything i can add/do to make this more sour? thanks!
