Notes

7/22/2021: Added 5ml lactic acid before souring to lower ph 5.2 -> 4.4ish, looking for <3.3ph
20 hours incubation @ 40C: 3.65, 40 hours: 3.43, will add 1.5ml acid at kegging
Presour grav: 1.037, OG: 1.053...refractometers don't work with soured wort maybe?
Fermentation completed in a few days, added 1kg blueberries after 1 week, let sit for a week
Kegged 8/8/21 - Good level of sour, nice dark flavor notes. Hint of blueberry comes through. All in all, a resounding success :)
