Lambic Bottling

subwyking · May 14, 2014

Hello all! I brewed a kit from Northern Brewer, Dawson's Kriek, back in September of 2012. I'm wanting to bottle it up now in regular crown cap bottles. My question is, do I need to add fresh yeast, or will the residual yeast/bugs from the 3278 Lambic blend be sufficient?
Thanks

I use a little champagne yeast when bottling my sours...gives them a great head with fine bubbles.

I am about ready to bottle mine. From my research I will be using 2 Grams of Us-05 with 3.2 oz of corn sugar (2.1 X carbonation). This is for a 5 gallon batch.

You could add some partially fermented younger lambic. Probably more advanced than what you want to do, but it would taste great

I'd go with the sugar and a dash of fresh yeast.

I follow Mike's advice in this thread and found that it works well: http://www.babblebelt.com/newboard/thread.html?tid=1108752780&th=1312749922
