Lads,
I'm finally brewing stage 1 of the Raspberry Lambic with Galway Bay this Friday.
Stick your head in the door if you're around :)

What are they fermenting it in? Where are you getting the lambic culture?

We're doing primary fermentation as normal using notty. I think Chris has wine barrels for secondary.  AFAIK the culture is coming from White Labs  - might see what's floating around in the air though;)
