Could I have done this differently to achieve a quicker sour?
60% Pilsner malt
40% Wheat malt
Mashed at 64c
Boiled for 10 mins
1:028
Chilled to 30c
Direct pitch Wyeast Laco Brevis wild sour
Flushed kettle with CO2
Adjusted pH to 4.5 with Lactic Acid
72 hours in it was stuck at 3.8pH OG still stable at 1:028
Gave up, boiled and continued process as normal.
Is something wrong in the process that caused a stuck pH?
Should I have done a laco starter?
Suggestions please
