I brewed a lambic about 4 months ago using the Northern Brewer Dawson's Kriek extract kit. It sat in primary for about 3 months and then I racked to secondary on top of 6lbs cherry puree about a month ago. When I racked to secondary I pitched another all grain batch on the (Lambic Blend) yeast cake and I'm planning on letting that one go for 1-2 years.
In the meantime I was planning on bottling the kriek in 750ml Belgian bottles for a local homebrew fest that's coming up in Oct.
Will this beer continue to develop in the bottle (I'm assuming so)? I'm not sure how to go about priming these for carbonation. I'm thinking I should stay on the low side since the bugs will continue to chew on any fermentable sugars left from the cherry pureee. But I also want to have at least some carbonation after 4-6 weeks in the bottle.
