Lambic beer from a kit?

[DougBrown]

I'm mostly a kit brewer (BrewHouse but lately U-Do) and I was wondering if I could create a lambic beer from a kit. I mean when the adding the yeast step comes up does it really matter if you started with all grain or a kit? I see that Wyeast has a few lambic strains.

Ive used wheat malt extract to make several lambics. I think i added some maltodextrin. Worked out fine. I blended them young (1 yr old) with several older and more sour lambics. Resulted in some nice Kriek and mixed berry sours. You can pitch the Lambic blend or ferment with an ale yeast then pitch it. Lots of options. Search extract lambic on the web and you’ll find several articles including one from BYO magazine. A kit is no different really. Lets us know how you get along.
