Post-Barrel Lambic Brewday

While I have brewed almost all of the beer I need for the barrel, I still need more lambic to finish off an earlier project; this batch will be the third version I’ll use to blend a gueuze; once it has had about a year, I’ll be experimenting with blending along with 168. Lambic from 1/29/2014 and the three gallons of 134. Lambic from 11/23/2012. Eyes on the prize, my man.
