Hi All, Looking to brew my first sour berliner weisse. I didn't find a whole lot of info regarding extract recipes. Any insight?
I would bring water to a boil, add enough light dme to achieve a low gravity Wort (around 1.040) Chill to around 100F and pitch whatever lacto culture you want. Goodbelly is a good fool-proof source, and can still sour a Wort at room temp. I'd let it sour in a carboy for 36ish hours then do another 10 min boil with it and add hops to get around 5-10 IBU. Chill again and pitch a German ale yeast.
You could always just add lactic acid after the ferment to get the sourness, or you could use yogurt and do a kettle sour.
@DrewBeechum did an article for BA regarding extract sours if I recall correctly. Probably some good info there.
