If you make it up, and it doesn't seem very acidic, you can always add a little vinegar or lemon juice to it to drop the pH. I also just posted my recipe for faux buttermilk, as I didn't have any on hand today. I haven't seen anyone do it this way, but sometimes folks will use American yogurt straight as it is runnier than the Greek I used.
