Bottling: No Boil Lambic

Today was bottling day for the No Boil Lambic.  The gravity stayed steady at 1.002 for a month, so I decided to bottle it.  The sourness is quite assertive at this point.  While the Brett character is present, its one dimensional.  Just a strong cherry pie filling Brett flavor without much else.  In a traditional straight Lambic  there is little to no carbonation and a Gueuze is highly carbonated.  I primed half the bottles for high carbonation and half for low carbonation.

No Boil Lambic Update

Transferred to the secondary two weeks ago. I know this isn't traditional for a Lambic but, I'm not shooting for a traditional Lambic. The beer is one dimensional but, it's still early. It's taste similar to a Berliner Weisse, with aggressive Lacto sourness. I'm really excited to see how this one turns out. If I can keep my hand off it until it's done?


( I accidentally delete the original brew day post of this beer. (8/13/12) This beer was 78% 2-row, 22% White Wheat and most importantly never boiled after the mash.)
