So I always oxygenate my wort prior to pitching yeast on all of my beers of course.

I am currently souring 6 gallons with a carton of goodbelly mango for 48-72 hours.

Is it safe at this point when I get my desired ph to aerate the wort with a stone prior to pitching a blend of Brett B and Brett L, and eventually belle saison? Or is Butyric acid something I should still be concerned about at this point in the process.

This is my first sour beer. Any words of advice would greatly be appreciated. I plan on lowering to sach pitching temp before pitching without killing off the lacto as would be done with a kettle sour
 
if you bring the beer up to pasuerise then you'll kill off the lacto without affecting your sourness and then you can oxygenate and ferment to your hearts content

i think (i've never done it) you can oxygenate when you haven't killed off the lacto as well without harm but someone else can probably give better advice.
