This is a classic Cherry Lambic. Very great, in my opinion. I use a tart cherry concentrate in the secondary that gives an authentic sour cherry punch that you look for in a kriek.

Special Instructions
1.Bake your Hops in a 200 degree oven until they are stale, but not browned
2.Mash at 155. (152 will yield a less funky beer, and 158 will yield a much funkier beer. I prefer in the middle for a kriek)
3.Ferment with Lambic Blend yeast, add cherries in Secondary. Age for 1 year.
