Notes
Most brewing grains tend to have a population of Lactobacillus, among other microorganisms, that can be used to naturally sour a Berliner weisse. Take a handful of milled base malt and add it to either the mash or wort. Allow the liquid to sit with the grains at 110-120°F for 48 hours. This will allow the sour bugs to develop. On brew day, boiling the wort will stop the souring action at that point and leave a fixed amount of sourness.
