Boiled my kettle soured Berliner Weisse today. After 36 hours at 110F the wort was already really sour. I can't imagine leaving this to sour for 72 hours like some people do.
do you know how much grain you used, or did you just add what felt like enough?

looks like AHS is out of 2-row. (how does that happen?)
what else could I use to sour a wort for a Berliner weisse? 6-row? pale ale malt? additional Pilsner?

Any malt has the lacto on it that you're looking for I would imagine pale ale or pilsner would be just fine.

I use 50/50 pilsner and wheat to an OG of around 1.035. Then add acid malt on top of that for a pH reduction after the mash.
For the actual souring I just use crushed pils malt.

when adding the acid malt (or any grain) after the mash is complete, do you remove that from the calculation of your OG?

I thought that would be the case but figured it wouldn't hurt to ask

I add the acid malt to the recipe in beersmith so I have it documented, but I'm not sure exactly how many gravity points it will add.
It's only in the mash for 15 mins before I start to run off.

I know I have asked before, but did you through in rice hulls too?

Probably up to a pound of hulls.

yep, I always use rice hulls when I use wheat, rye, or flaked whatever.
Stuck mashes suck..

cool, thanks
the order is in
now, we wait. man, I'd love to have a homebrew supply store close by
I put 8 oz of acid malt in Beersmith but set it's yield to 0, so it doesn't change the OG. I'm sure it will give it a slight bump anyways if added to the mash just before draining, but I will adjust the OG before boiling with a little extra water if needed.

no, I just played with getting a recipe for a black rye IPA
and speaking of recipes, I need to convert the Rye IPA recipe I used to all-grain

Ok, I'm just using the one on HBT I guess. We'll see.
Our all grain RyePA recipe is in the recipe thread.

Put my order in for a black IPA ingredients late this morning too. Got an e-mail that it's ready. Picking it up after work.
Brewing a pale ale tonight as well as making the starter for the black IPA. Will brew that one on Sunday.

I ended up going with 73% Maris Otter, 16% Rye, and 11% Chocolate Wheat. Like I said though, I haven't brewed it yet, so no idea how that's going to taste

I based my extract recipe off of it. Mine is very close to yours, obviously, with 76% Maris Otter, 18% Rye, and 6% Crystal 60L
