pH reading of carbonated sour

[kaz4121]

Is there a standard protocol for measuring pH from commercial wild ales? Initially, I thought I could just measure the beer's pH, adjust for temperature, and be done with it. But today, I am thinking that carbonation (in the form of carbonic acid), skews such a reading from a commercial beer.

Anyone else ever consider this? Should I let the sample degas first?

Yup, I would de-gas first.
