Notes

This is a variation of my other recipe using different sour technique. I know the spike method is frown upon but it is just an experiment for comparison reasons.

mash low at 64 c,
sparge
spike the wort with lactic acid to pH 4.5
boil as per usual
before cooling the whole wort lower pH further to 3.6
cool to pitching temperature
pitch
ferment
add fruit to secondary for 5-7 days, use mesh bag
