Notes

Very short boil (20min) to leave proteins for the wild yeast to eat.

Week 1: Primary fermentation with ale/lager yeast (plastic carboy or whatever).

Week 2: Rack to secondary, still ale/lager yeast (plastic or whatever).

Week 3: Rack to a glass or PET container (air tight, glass is better to sanitise the wild yeast when finished). Add wild yeast. Leave for at least 6 months or more (years?). Put in a cool place, although some say room temp is ok. I leave mine in room temp during summer and it could reach above 25c.

3 months before bottling: Add fruit. 200 grams pr liter beer. My fruit has been frozen, then pasteurised in a kettle at 80c for half an hour.

Add oak chips for the last 2 weeks.

Ale yeast: Whatever, but a Belgian ale yeast is preferred (because of esters). Or Lager yeast. 1 vial is good, no starter.
Wild yeast: WYEAST 3278 BELGIAN LAMBIC BLEND, or whatever brett.
