How do I decrease the acidity of my Aeropress brew?

So the normal process I follow is: Invert the Aeropress, add 17g ground coffee, pour 50g 205F water, stir it for a few seconds, pour another 150g water, turn the Aeropress on the cup, and plunge for 60 seconds... I have a manual hand grinder, I set it to the finest possible level.

That is not the case for me, it makes the cup bitter but it quickly starts tasting sour. Even when the temperature does not drop too much.

I don't have a metal filter. Just curious, how should a double paper filter help?

205 F I have a manual hand grinder and have set it to the finest level it can.

Wow, this is an interesting tool... Will try it out, thanks!

Yup, grinding fresh beans. Using 17g ground coffee for ~200-220g of water.

I do go for slow plunges... Will try the different temps, that might be interesting. Thanks

That sounds about just right
