Mashed and cubed a belgian wit recently, but made the mistake of putting in un-pasteurised orange zest.
The net result being i lost 9 litres, due to it self fermenting and leaking from the cube, it probly hit 32*c during this phase.
Took a gravity reading and had dropped from 1.057 to 1.052 during this stage (4 weeks), so i added 200g dextrose and pitched some 3944.
My second fridge can't hold anything cold whilst hooked up to the temp. controller and primary fridge @ 19, so a nice??? constant 24*c.
Been reading a bit about lambic's recently, comments about tasting like wit beer, and personally consider sour very refreshing.
Anybody got any thoughts re this, time and space are not an issue, let it run its course and see what happens?
