Quick Berliner Weisse Question

[rhern053]

Posted this in the Lambic section too:

Berliner Weisse - should I age cold (~40*F) or room temp (~75*F)?

And for how long? 2-3 months I've heard.

Thanks!

Berliner Weisse is a low gravity wheat beer. There is no aging. It should be consumed very young. The souring occurs quite rapidly when properly innoculated.

traditionally they're aged warm, but there's no need to age for a long time.

I have a berliner weisse that has been aging at 60F for 2 months. Would you disturb an intact pellicle (white powdery film on surface with sporadic pinto bean-sized raised bubbles)
to taste/bottle, or wait for the pellicle to drop?
