==Brewing and Blending Process==
Het Boerenerf is a blendery and receives lambic wort from 5 different lambic brewers, being: [[Brouwerij_3_Fonteinen|Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen]], [[Brouwerij_De_Troch|De Troch]], [[Brouwerij_Lindemans|Lindemans]], [[Den_Herberg|Den Herberg]] and Angerik. The first batch of lambic to go into barrels was brewed at [[Brouwerij_3_Fonteinen|Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen]] on April 28 and April 29 2020. This initial brew makes up the majority of Het Boerenerf's first fruited lambic release in 2021. [[Brouwerij_De_Troch|De Troch]] and [[Brouwerij_Lindemans|Lindemans]] provide the blendery with lambic wort since 2021, and [[Den_Herberg|Den Herberg]] and Angerik as of 2022.
There is currently no brewing equipment. The bottling of the first two lambic batches was done manually by the blender at the farm, although an automated bottling machine will be used for the beers of the 2022-2023 season. The barrel room quickly expanded from 25 barrels in 2021 to around 80 barrels in 2022. The barrels have different sizes (between 200 and 750 liters) and originate from Burgundy and Bordeaux. Mid 2022 the total capacity was around 25,000 liters.
