Mash low, after mashing and sparging briefly raise temp to pasteurise wort. Cool to about 40 C
Before adding lactobacillus sp. lower pH to 4.5;
Keep bacteria in the kettle until pH drops to 3.4
Then boil normally with hops schedule.

Add 900g of pureed blackcurrant to secondary for 7 days. Use hop bag for berries.

Bottled, took pH and it came to 3.25 which is very sour. Tastes sour and dry.
update 02/12/2019
Opened a bottle after 2 weeks conditioning. The sourness is much better and rounder. Galaxy complements berries very well. Very nice easy-drinking beer.

bskzoo • 01/04/2019 at 12:57am I’m looking at doing something very similar to this. Do you think you would use less fruit next time, or start at a pH closer to something like 3.6?
furssy • 01/04/2019 at 12:02pm Yes. I would definitely aim for higher pH, circa 3.6 or even 3.7. Would not reduce amount of fruit though.
