Notes

Since I used well water, my water had high sodium from softener but I didnt want RO to build from scratch - I wanted the ions in there I already had. Built on top of it to achieve a pH in the kettle of 5.3 before adding the sugar.

Pitch yeast then 2gr of yeast nutrient every 24 hours after pitching until fermentation is near terminal.

After fermentation (and dry hops), add lactic acid to taste or your desired pH level. Lacto strains cannot be used to sour a hard seltzer. They require carbohydrates and nucleotides that are normally present in wort but not sugar wash and yeast nutrient is not enough.
