Welcome to the homeBBBrew board!
Like the BBB, the homeBBBrew board is not a club, just a place to talk about making beer. Is there a swap you would like to
see happen? If we can find a few others who have something similar then lets do it!

Lambics: traditional vs modern techniques
I thought some of the readers here might find this helpful especially since this forum helped me so much in this project. Back in 2011 I brewed a lambic using traditional methods (turbid mash, long boil). In each subsequent year I've used a more streamlined "modern" process to produce roughly 60-gallons of lambic to fill oak barrels. Otherwise the recipe is the exact same. Therefore I feel like a comparison of my 2011 lambic to my 2012 and 2013 serves as a good test for what kind of impact the traditional lambic processes have on the actual flavor and drinkability of the beer.
In short, I found that there's a difference but not a difference that can't be compensated for in the grain bill and that the difference isn't necessary better or worse. For a full report I posted on this blog:

Looking forward to hearing any comments! |
