The specific gravity of the final blend must be high enough to ensure that bottle refermentation occurs.
===Pasteurization===
At this phase, some lambic brewers choose to pasteurize their product prior to the completion of secondary fermentation. This allows for a sweeter product, retaining the lambic or gueuzes residual sugars and sweet fruit flavors in the case of a fruited lambic. It also eliminates refermentation in the bottle and minimizes other changes to the beer, allowing industrial lambic producers to ensure a more consistent product that does not continue to develop.
