I brewed a base for a Kriek on 24 april, which had a starting gravity of 1.053.
It was brewed in two batches, on mashed at about 70°C, the other one at 64°C (but I have extracted about 20% of the mash liquid 5 minutes after adding the grain and brough to boil - sort of a turbid mash).
In the entire volume I dumped a roeselare pack and a bit of wyeast forbidden fruit (about 60-70ml of slurry).
Today i measured the gravity and it's sitting at 1.002. The entire liquid is starting do develop a pelicle.
Is it normal for lambics to attenuate so quick?

Q2: I have a blone ale the I've inoculated with the dregs from about 5 orval bottles. It was at about 1.012 at that time (a month ago) and now it's sitting at 1.005 (1.008 two weeks ago). Is it safe to bottle at this point? ( I have some orval bottles and some small 0.25l lambic bottles to use) and how much sugar should I use to prime it.
