Hello,

I brewed my first lambic during this years Big Brew Day (115 days ago), and I had a question about aging. I ferment sankey kegs, were the lambic currently is sitting at 75F in my fermentation chamber. Is it better to just leave the lambic in my sankey fermentor 1+ years, or should I split it up in some BB Carboys?

Thanks.
 
There is no point in moving it unless you must. It will expose it to O2, which could lead to acetic acid production. I have some almost 3 year old "lambic" sitting in the same carboy I originally put it in for primary fermentation. I don't even think it's moved from the spot in my room I sat it in originally.
