Finally took the plunge into sour beers this weekend and brewed a lambic using wyeast’s lambic blend. It was a distracted brew day, and I didn’t notice until pitching time that 1: the pack hadn’t puffed up and 2: it was marked June '14.
As of last night a pellicle had just started to form, but there’s no krausen and no airlock activity yet. Fermenter is in a basement closet with an ambient temperature about 64.
Being that I’m new to the style, not sure if I should be concerned or just assume the blend lets the bacteria take hold first. Should I pitch a Belgian ale blend or just leave it for now?
