===Traditional Lambic is made according to the following rules: ===
====Ingredients:====
* raw wheat 35%* malted barley 65%* dried hops (three years old) : 5 g per liter of beer
====Process:====
* brewing (from 45°c up to 72°c)* collecting the wort by filtering* boiling and hopping in the boilers* cooling down in the cooling tun, in contact with the open air* natural infection of the wort by wild ferments (bacteria and yeasts)* pumping the wort at a temperature of 18°c into oakwood or chestnutwood barrels* spontaneous fermentation, visible in the beginning, slow afterwards* transformation of all the sugars within three years
===Looks of Lambic:===
Still beer, cereals wine. During the fermentation, the carbon dioxide escapes through the wood and as a result does not saturate the beer.
