Sour Mash Newbie And Hypochondriac - Will My Beer Kill Me?

[hijukal]

I don't have a CO2 set up. If I did, I would absolutely blanket. Sarab wrap is a poor substitute but its what I have to work with.

And I use 88% lactic acid, play with the settings in Bru'n Water to give me a ballpark idea, and verify with pH meter as I go. Don't have notes in front of me but it works out to a few ml of 88% lactic.

Excellent, thanks a lot for your help. Also checked out Bru'n Water, which seems quite useful (though I think I'll refrain from additions for at least this first Berliner).
