Notes

Double batch split in two:

1: Straight wheat pilsner fermented with w-34/70
2: Wheat sour pale ale fermented with Philly Sour and M12 Kveik (harvested and dried from previous batch)

No blueberry or lingonberry added.

Tested 100ml of sour beer with small amount of lingonberry. Lactic acid precipitated as calcium lactate, so I skipped the berries altogether.

Made a "dashi" of a mix of dried seaweed and some dried chanterelles and added to the sour beer to give it more body and character.
