Beginner Lambic Recipe

[StephenA]

I've been brewing for about 3 years now and I'm ready to try a lambic style beer. Anyone know a simple start?


Primary- wild flower mead
Secondary-muscadine wine
Keg- chocolate milk stout, vanilla ale
Bottled- chicha, green tea infused mead, strawberry wine

What kind of setup do you have?

I've been researching this too. Here is AmandaK's award-winning extract recipe.

Alternatively, here are Oldsock's all-gran recipes for a turbid mash and single infusion.

I'm going to try the single infusion recipe, but was thinking of using dark wheat malt in place of the wheat malt and spelt to get the SRM up to 6. I'm also planning to use 4 oz of maltodextrine.

Been wondering about this too recently. Subscribed.

I've been using this recipe more or less for the last three years, and it's worked out well.

Are you blending it for a gueuze by any chance? That's my main motivation for venturing down this path.

 

[dantheman13]

I've done some blending with it, not specifically gueuze style blending though. I am doing a Solera with mine. The first pull for me tasted a lot like gueuze, and I won a first place in a local competition in that category with the beer. If you want the gritty details, I documented it in video format on youtube:

Well, my lambic project just moved up to number 2 on the list as I just ordered ECY01 Bugfarm (and ECY02 Flemish Ale) from love2brew.

There is a good article in beer and wine journal called a simple sour beer, worked for me.

I have an all grain setup. I want to do a no mix lambic most likely with a fruity tone to it.
