Kiki’s Kriek

Two weeks on from racking on to a big pile of black cherries and my kriek experiment looks to be going ok. There’s a bit of air lock activity and there looks to be a pelicile forming on top of the layer of fruit.

I kept a couple of demijohns of the lambic base aside to age separately from the kriek… there’s a small but noticeable ring forming around the glass. Rather less activity than the others, but still some signs of life.

Hopefully they’ll sort themselves out and be drinkable next year!

Here’s the grain/hop bill for the base…
