==Spontaneous fermentation== | |||
The spontaneous fermentation of lambic is a complex process involving a succession of bacteria and yeasts that progresses along with the chemical changes that occur during fermentation [1]. The spontaneous fermentation process has shown considerable variability even among different barrels of beer from the same brewery [2], though all spontaneiously fermented beers appear to follow a general sequence of microbes, which can be broken into four distinct stages [1-3]: | The spontaneous fermentation of lambic is a complex process involving a succession of bacteria and yeasts that progresses along with the chemical changes that occur during fermentation [1].
