Hello all, I just started my first lambic about 2 weeks ago. I pitched the wyeast 3278 lambic blend into a wort of 3lbs Pilsen DME and 3lbs Wheat DME with an oz of Hersbrucker hops. I snapped a pic last night and nothing seems funky or nasty about it. I have all intentions on letting this ride until next year, I just don't want to waste all that time if something went wrong or if I need to repitch or add something else. Attached is the pic.

Two weeks is simply not long enough to develop any sourness.

The Wyeast lambic blend, as the name implies, has several different strains of yeast and bacteria in it. They will tend to "activate" at different times due to the changing environment as the beer ferments. Right now it looks like you are getting a pretty typical saccharomyces fermentation, probably from the sherry strain.

Your best bet is to just let it sit somewhere undisturbed for a very long time.
