Hello,
Simple question but cant find a simple answer.
So, my recipe and my plan are almost done for my first lambic. Ill use Wyeast 3278 with a simple recipe.
At first I planned to let it site 8-12 months on primary (dont know how the yeast evolve) then rack on raspberries for 3 months (read that it will keep more flavor then 6 months) and then bottle and drink after another 3 months.
1- I know that its a short timeline for a lambic but its an experiment and I think Ill try to let site longer next time but,... what do you think about the timeline?
2- For "regular beer" 8-12 month on primary is a long time... Why is it no a problem with lambic?
3- I read that Brett will feed on dead yeast. Why not leave the beer in primary for 12-24 months? According to my plan, I would add the raspberries to the primary and then rack to bottle.
Thanks
