Line 31:

== Side Notes ==

Kestemont boils the wort 3 to 4 hours before placing it in their coolship, and many of the barrels they use are ex-cognac barrels, with a capacity from 450 Liter to 600 Liter, but they also have former french wine barrels (225 Liter) as well as former italian wine barrels (500 Liter).

In 2024, the barrel room stocked about 360 barrels, totalling at about 700 hectoliters of lambic.

Many of the fruits used in the beers are actually farmed by the family (who grows mainly vegetables, but also a small portion of fruits as well as their own wheat). The list includes sour cherries, including the Schaarbeek variety, as well as raspberries, blackberries, red, green and yellow gooseberries, rhubarb, red currant and black currant. They are added on lambic at least one year old, but are often a blend of one, two, and sometimes three years old, depending on the beer.

Line 38:

The brewery itself was bought second hand from Brouwerij De Sater in Nazareth, and has a capacity of 16 hectoliters (about 13.6 U.S. beer barrels) and was originally built for dairy production, which is quite common as a setup in Belgian breweries .
