Ph screw up

[Izzie1701]

So I have a bit of a problem. Thought my Ph test strips went to 3.0. Was off by 1. They only test to 4.0. I don't think any stores will be open tomorrow as it's our holiday carry over so think I maybe screwed and going to have to go by taste not Ph. How much will the sourness increase as it ferments out. I dropped the Ph to 4.5 today with lactic before pitching the lacto and it barely taste sour. Didn't think there would be that much between 3.24 and 4.5. New to souring. Oh and I'm kettle souring. Just pitched lacto about an hour ago.

The pH scale is logarithmic. The difference between 3.5 and 4.5 is an order of magnitude.

How'd it turn out?
