I have been reading up on brewing a Lambic. I currently do AG home brewing.
Questions:
1 - If I use Wyeast Lambic blend, do I need to get the dregs from bottles, or is the Wyeast alone sufficient
2 - Where can u get aged hops? Or do I have to cook hops in the oven?
3 - Is a turbid mash required? It seems quite complicated. I am not adverse to trying extract for the first time.
I would like to create a kriek style. So, I know that the beer needs to age for a year or so before the fruit.
If I use my 5 gallon oak cask to age the lambic, will the cask be unusable for future homebrews which are not lambics?
Also, if you have any sites or suggestions please let me know.
Thanks
