kriek tweek

Post by Juniper Hill » Fri Jan 04, 2013 1:29 pm

I'm going to do my first brew in 15 years. Have most of the gear now to try all-grain, but thought it best if I try an extract kit first. I was thinking about the NG Kriek kit. Any suggestions to make sure it turns out? :think:

Don't know much about that one. What's the general layout of the kit?

Lord jesus christ almighty. That's not a kriek, it's a fruit beer. But if that's what you are looking for, it should be fine.

X please explain. I'm a bit of a beer newby. I thought traditional Kriek was a fuit beer. I understand it is a lambic, but I wasn't planning on a wild ferment...I'm sure it would more than a little nasty given my level of expertise.

You pretty much have it figured out. A kriek should use some buggy stuff or wild yeasts. I just don't think NG should be selling fruit beers and calling them krieks.
