Use split Main and Cereal mashes.

  1. Main Barley mash at 123F for 45 min.
  2. Cereal mash + 1 lb crushed barley from main mash grain (note wheat is Raw crushed wheat) = 123F for 15 min (then save 1 Qt Turbid water for end of boil) Add more Mash water if needed to thin out , 155 for 15min, then near boiling to be added to main mash. Target = 155F for 45 min. Add Maltodextrin, Sugar, Turbid liquid and Yeast Neut at end of the boil. Primary Ferm in Carboy until slows then transfer to 10 gallon Rum Barrel. After ferm slows remove and bottle enough Lambic to replace volume of 5 lbs dried Apricots. Barrel for 1-2 years. Top off barrel with bottled lambic as needed. Note Brett will take down to 1.010 so ABV might be over 7%
