Notes

Inspiration: Crabapple Lambicky Ale from R. Mosher's Radical Brewing, p. 169.

  1. Brew a "wheat ale" using ale yeast.
  2. Rack to secondary and add (previously frozen) fruit and a lambic blend.
  3. Two months goes past for maturation.
  4. Rack and wait another two months for stuff to settle.
  5. Bottle.

    I go lower than suggested on IBU (31 suggested), and I do not use US hops. Instead of the suggested crabapples or cranberries, I use Fægriana rowan berries (Sorbus meinichii "Fægriana" which is endemic to Western Norway). The rowan berries will give a wilder and more bitter result.
