So I brewed a pretty simple wheat beer:
4 lbs. Rahr White Wheat malt
4 lbs Rahr 2 row Pale
1 oz Willamette (60-min)
1 oz Cascade (15 min)
However, I accidentally grabbed a packet of Wyeast 3278 belgian lambic blend (I'm positive it was out of place on the rack) instead of the Wyeast 1010. Even though I properly prepped the smack pack well in advance, I still didn't realize I had the wrong yeast until it was time to pitch, which was pretty late last night.
Because it was so late and I knew my local shop wasn't going to be open today, I pitched the Lambic yeast anyway. The ingredients only cost around $20 so If the beer end up tasting horrible, no big loss plus I have made this beer several times before. However, what should I expect with lambic blend? Should I add anything to the beer at this point to make it more like a lambic?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
