Corn sugar or priming sugar is used to carbonate your beer. Be sure to dissolve in water before bottling to get the best results. A 5 oz portion is ideal for most 5 gallon batches, but it has other purposes as well. You can also use it to boost your ABV without affecting flavor much by adding it to your boil before fermentation.

A blend of lambic cultures produces beer with a complex, earthy profile and a distinctive pie cherry sourness. Aging up to 18 months is required for a full flavor profile and acidity to develop. Specific proportions of a Belgian style ale strain, a sherry strain, two Brettanomyces strains, a Lactobacillus culture, and a Pediococcus culture produce the desirable flavor components of these beers as they are brewed in West Flanders. Propagation of this culture is not recommended and will result in a change of the proportions of the individual components. This blend will produce a very dry beer due to the super-attenuative nature of the mixed cultures.
