hi,
me and some fellow brewers are planning a lambic group brew.
one question that came up, is can we create a single starter with a lambic blend and step it up gradually so we can use it for 4 carboys.
it perhaps sounds silly, but here in iceland it is very hard to get yeast, and expensive to order.
i know that in the lambic blend there is a selection of critters, is there a risk of an inballance between different strains if i step it up? would i have to create a special wirth for it to have all the different sugars for all the different strains.
