I can agree with that. Most sours are just too sour for my preferences.What worked nicely for me was dumping the sour down the sink drain

That's why you need to make your own
If you do a sour mash you cans blend to taste
I haven't made one recently but if I get a good crop of black currents

Should we get off your lawn too?
I never "got" bell bottom jeans and I have never gotten sour beers...
Kudos to @Bigbre04 for taking the time to try and understand the style, get feedback and try to make a credible sour - even if some of us aren't really fans, I think we all want his sour to be top shelf.
i wouldnt make sours if they didnt sell. unfortunately there are still people who dont like beer but will happily buy a sour. they are wrong, but i cant help that.
firstly i dont think you should be on his lawn...did you not see the signs????Should we get off your lawn too?

took ph this morning and in 12 hrs it has dropped from 5.35 to 3.46ph...gonna leave it souring until right before i leave. if i leave it until tomorrow it will get down to 3.38. voss will blow through most of the available sugar fairly quickly. plus i gotta hustle this batch along! its gonna be close!

Only good beer. Natty light aint cutting it
Pitched 9#s amoretti craft puree wild strawberry, 4.5# apricot, 250g of Voss, 30g of servo, and pushed 02 through the carb stone into the sour i brewed on tuesday! dropped from 14.8p to 7.8p even with a gallon and a half of 30brix fruit. ph continued down to 3.12 from 3.4 yesturday. temp rose on the batch to 33.8 from 31.5 the day before! i dont think it kicked my jackets on(sp 40c) but i guess it could have!
shes chugging right along. now i have to figure out how to brew and wash kegs in order to pack this tank before i run out! fun stuff.

I know yall were chomping at the bit for an update on this batch! i put it on draft this morning. it is actually very good. Subtle, not a kick in the face beyond being sour. very sour. ph was 3.05 when i packed it this morning.
I added
9#s of amoretti craft puree key lime
21g graham cracker flavoring
20g lime zest flavoring
100ml of vanilla.
overall it is really tasty and i dont really like sour beers. final ABV ended up at 5.3%.
we also have some graham crackers on hand to rim the glass if people want it!

its actually really good honestly. i bought a ton of key lime juice and lime juice but didnt use any of it because once the flavorings had settled in it was really good this morning. carbed it up and its on draft now!
