Watch your ibus anything over 10 will slow lacto growth. I used a starter with wyeast lacto 24 hours at 90f then pitched sac at 72 and let it finish. It took another 3 months to get moderately sour. Try getting the lacto pitch 5x larger and let it sit warm for a couple of days and it should be pretty sour.

If you think you have enough lacto, grow up 5 times more. You need tons.

That's what I'm seeing. I'm growing up some lacto now. It's pretty weird to see it flocculate out. It's so flaky and dusty looking.

Also, you should do a search on the Burgundian Babblebelt hombrew forum and you will get tons of info on brewing a berlinner weisse. Ultimately you will have to choose your own path, but it will give yo ulots to think about!
