Over soured

[toddfore]

I ended up over souring my beer. Don't really know how I messed the calculations up. Can I offset some of the sour by dry hopping in the keg?thanks.

What did you sour with. What was the terminal pH? This is pretty much the reason sour beer brewers blend beer. Dry hopping won't change any of the acids in the beer. Really the only way to fix it is to blend another beer in. Or instead of blending directly in the keg, just brew another beer and tap a little bit of it into the glass mixed with the sour until its at the level you want.

Used lactic acid. Did 10 drops to 1 ounce which was good. Then weighed out beer, divided down to ounces then calculated how many drops in an ounce and added that much lactic acid. Calculations came out to 9 ounces but only had 5 luckily which was way too much. Do have a labatt blue version lathering that I could add.

you could certainly try blending beers. I find lactic acid to be much more unforgiving flavor wise though.
