Notes

60 minute boil would be fine, I doubt 90 mins is necessary.
I added 100g of dextrose at the end of the boil to ensure I hit the post boil target OG of 1.036.

Kettle sour method.

Mash and boil with NO hops
Cool to 35 degrees
Add Lacto
Wait until desired sourness is reached (check every 12 hours)
Add a little bit of sugar to bring it back to expected pre-boil OG
Boil again and add hops
Cool back down, pitch yeast and ferment as normal with yeast

Turned out great. Nice lemony taste, very crisp and refreshing.
Without a side by side comparison it is hard to know how much lemon flavour is coming from the Lemondrop hops and how much from the lacto. It definitely doesn't taste hoppy though.
Next time I might try to pre acidify the wort to try and get better head retention. I might bump up the boil IBUs slightly too.
