Subject: lambik pitching or ?
I am considering running cooled wort directly into a recently emptied and
rinsed lambik barrel and then pitching NO cultures, relying on the resident
barrel flora alone to do the trick. Has anyone tried this? Are your
barrels producing a reproducable (well, maybe vaguely similar) ferments?
I may hedge my bets and pitch a small S.cerevisiae culture, but I am anxious
to try a more traditional approach short of spontaneous fermentation (which
does not seem to well work here in Michigan). Sort of an antithesis to the
pitch-a-hundred-cultures philosophy.

and not forgetting, if marketing hype is anything to go by, biere de garde.
Just as provincial cooking provides an alternative for urban palettes jaded by
nouvelle cuisine, biere de garde is supposed to do the same for the
fastidious (?) lager drinker who wants something a bit more earthy. Even
better, it is made by those funny rurals in the Flandres region. On the other
side of the channel, Jenlain is promoted as 'strong French country beer' in
English supermarkets.
