I recently brewed a 1 gallon batch from some ingredients I had around the house. I wanted to see how crushed juniper berries would taste in a gallon batch of brown ale before I went all out for a larger batch. I wasn't planning on turning it into a lambic but on a whim threw the dregs of a Gueze Fond Tradition and a Cuvée Rene into the glass carboy. Well, now I want to do a proper lambic with proper ingredients and need the 1 gallon carboy. I don't want to toss what I've started. Can I bottle it now?
There appears to be a pellicle that has formed on the top of the beer. I threw the dregs in when fermentation had slowed and not long afterwards started getting more activity in the airlock as well as more bubbles in the beer. It could taste disgusting with the juniper berries and could be a waste but again, I wouldn't mind giving it some time. What's coming out of the airlock smells pretty great. Any ideas? Thanks!!!
