Finally got off my butt to make the Berliner Weiss I was contemplating last summer.  Doing a kettle sour.  Will check the PH periodically over the next couple of days.

 

Question:

 

My gravity was about 4 points less than I had wanted (and I was shooting for the low end of the range).  When I go to boil to kill the lacto and add the hops, any issue with boiling off just a bit more?

None I can think of. Either that or just add a dallup of DME to get back where you wanted to be.

dallup, dollup, or dollap?   One can never be sure.

I've heard of people tossing in probiotic capsules. For kettle souring, I throw in a handful of acidulated malt, use a big honking aquarium heater set to max, flush with CO2 and cover it with saran wrap.

Good belly is so very popular option these days.

I may have to try that next time I make a Gose.
