I posted on here a while back about brewing with water taken strait from the Llanno River down in Castel, Tx. I've checked it out, no farms for 60 miles. No fertilizer run off risks or even cattle. I'll be boiling anyway of course. I then thought, why not let it open ferment? And this is where the questions come in.
I've never done a Lambic, and even though I've read through all of these, I'm still not even sure my terminology is correct. But after the boil I wanted to use either a coolship of some sort, or maybe just leave the top off of the bucket for the night. I'm guessing that would get some of the "wild" yeast from the area. Once that is done, should I add more yeast of some sort? Or will whatever is in the air be enough. And at what point do I cap it, if ever? Any info would be appreciated.
