I found this video to be very informative on the style and how to get a very sour Berliner.

PERSPECTIVE ON BREWING BERLINER WEISSE STYLE BEER

Basicly it boiled down to pitch a German Sacc strain then pitch the lacto. You will get a greater drop is PH by doing so.

If your brewing water alkalinity is high, that will tend to neutralize the acid production and increase the pH of the resulting beer. Using a relatively acidic sachromyces strain like 1007 will help consume the alkalinity and help the pH fall into a good range for a Berliner.

I have read a ton of diff opinions on how to do Berliners. What I did (used BCS recipe) is cultured my own laco but before pitching that I pitched US05 to kick off primary then once that was about 4 days in pitched my laco in and it was plenty sour. Of course mine was a blended but it was sour once it was blended and became more sour as the keg aged.
