Sounds and looks fantastic! I'm meaning to brew up a simple rhubarb (currently in season in my neck of the woods) sour with PhillySour, but I'm unsure about the acidity of the final product. Rhubarb contains rather harsh oxalic and malic acid and I want to make sure the beer comes out smooth.

I suppose you added the sugar following the general advice of adding glucose to increase acidity? Did the beer come out very sour? What was your OG?

Yes and moderately tart. I'm thinking of bumping the sugar a little on the next batch to try to increase acidity. I don't trust the calibration on my pH meter; so I can't tell you objectively how acidic it got.

Started at 1.048 and finished at 1.010. But I'm not sure how to account for what the plums added.
