Traditional Lambic
70% Pils
30% Unmalted Wheat
2-4 oz Aged Hops (per 5 gals)
Do a crazy ass cereal/decoction mash (turbid mashing)
Aged in an old infected oak barrel for 1-3 yrs
Realistic Lambic
70% Pils
30% Flaked wheat
Rice hulls
2 oz of the lowest AA% hops you can find baked in an oven for 60 min (baked twice if you have the time)
Wyeast Lambic Blend (3278 I think)
Ferment in a plastic bucket for 1-2 yrs
Any questions you can PM me.

I finally got one of my kegs back from my brother today. He's had it for the past 3 months. Anyway, he ran out of keg chargers when there was about a gallon of koelsch left in it so he opened the keg and poured himself a glass or two. He then put the lid back on but then set the keg in his garage where the temp has been hovering in the 90-110° range for the last couple of months. You want a sour beer? I have a SOUR beer!!!
