Hello
Does anyone experience with this? Looking to use the acid to sour the beer not the traditional method of a sour mash or kettle. I know it's not the same complex sour note.
What is the process? How did you like the results?
Thanks

Re: Souring Beer with Lactic Acid
I've used it to make a sour beer a touch more sour. I'm thinking that souring an entire batch with it might be a bit much as i understand you get some off flavors (dicetyl) in large amounts. You could try the amounts in a pint glass to maybe work out how much you think you'll need.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
