I have followed Steve Piatz's process for making a Lambic extract.
I brewed as normal and allowed the wort to cool naturally in my fermenter and sit in the kitchen for 2 days.
This morning I have full blown fermentation happening; without pitching my smack pack of Wyeast lambic blend and dregs of commercial sour beers that I have been building up.
Next step should I:
1. Add the smack pack and dregs as planned.
2. Add just the dregs.
3. Add some dry yeast and the dregs, save the smack pack for another.
The plastic fementer had been used for a sour before, it received a clean of boiling water and star san. Would there be a chance of the little critters still be living in the fermenter? And that is what is causing fermentation?
Ideas and thoughts?
