i wanted to try a lambic style, but can't really find a recipe or much for guides can anyone help. I am hoping to start it before my birthbay 2/21 so it will be ready for my birthbay

Ya, a month isn't really enough time. I recently brewed a fruit lambic with a two month schedule that was very successful at the last homebrew meeting. After the first month, it tasted unpleasantly sour and smelled foul. A month later, it tasted great!
I asked everyone to guess how old the lambic was and the closest guess I received was 8 months (6 months off). But, I made a huge lambic starter four weeks in advance that I stepped up three times. That technique alone considerably reduced the time necessary for the bacteria to multiply in the fermenter. The next lambic I brew will use the same technique.
i want to brew it for 2/21/10

So you had a lambic with a pellicle and all and it finished in 2 months?
Even with a four week starter, a lambic shouldn't be ready for at least a year. The bugs involved are slow working, and can't be coerced into working fast.
Would you mind doing a step-by-step kind of layout of your process in a new thread. I would be very interested in the details of your process.
