Hops
,(In Progress)
Lambics aren't the only historic mixed-fermentation beer to make use of aged hops. Though the specific mention of aged hops for saison and bieres de garde does not seem to be the norm, aged hops were used at times, such as when more acidity was desired. These hops were also more likely to be used toward the beginning of the brewing season in months like October where the current harvest may have been considered too fresh for proper use. Notes: Give some discussion of hopping saison and bieres de garde. See [http://www.horscategoriebrewing.com/2016/06/hopping-historical-grisettes.html hopping grisette table] for some hopping rates, PJB, etc.
James Howat of Black Project Spontaneous Ales uses 0.5 ounces of aged hops per gallon of beer for spontaneously fermented beers brewed using traditional lambic techniques <ref>[https://www.facebook.com/blackprojectbeer/videos/580667305468055/ Howat, James.
