How does everyone regulate the fermenting temp for those with a barrel aging a lambic? I'm looking into doing a lambic in my barrel when I get it and I'm concerned I will just be making vinegar.
keep air locks toped up acetobacter needs oxygen i ferment in glass demijohn no temp control
 
Question regarding hops. Bit of talk about using aged hops. I've actually found dried hops in a health food store. Is that what you would use or just regulation hops at start of boil to get the required IBU.

i age my own hops for lambic but not necessary as you wont taste the hop after 1 to 2 years i think the hops mainly keep lactobacillus from running rampant to let the pedio do most of the souring
