Spontaneous Lambic Project

Calling a project "spontaneous" and "lambic" may be duplicitous because lambic is a spontaneously fermented beer. However, we homebrewers play fast and loose with the term and brew beers we call lambic that use lab-created blends of yeast and bacteria or the dregs of sour beers to find the bacteria and yeast that help us create these fantastic beers. I included "spontaneous" in naming this project because, unlike my lambic solera, this beer will be 100% spontaneously fermented. This page will include an updated list of the posts discussing this project.
