@plactagonic @homebrewing I did some research last year and looks like those Belgian krieks are actually stored in wine barrels for a year to infuse them with the cherry flavor. That was a bit too much for my means ๐
I would be very interested in alternative methods to get similar results as well.
@AndiPopp @homebrewing I know, few months ago I was in Belgium and visited brewery that makes lambics.
Tbh I really don't like this style I was thinking about some dubbel or some different strong style.
@plactagonic @homebrewing Ah ok, haven't seen many of those using cherries so I probably jumped to conclusions. I'm still interested in what your coming up with ๐
Lambics are very special style, with 6+ biological agents working simultaneously, none of those pure clones like brewers yeast. It's not even cherry centered really. And, judging by commercial beers quality, I'm afraid it's about to become lost art.
