I have just bottled and fruited my first batch of lambic. I have some ECY01 BugFarm coming for my 2nd batch.
I started wondering what other people do to maintain a house culture for the bugs. My goal is to have something that makes my homebrew sours somewhat my own, instead of just fermenting with Wyeast Lambic blend or whatever. I have used 3oz of oak chips in an attempt to carry over some critters from batch to batch.
Does anyone keep a jar or built up yeast and bugs? If so, how and what do you find most successful?
